¡Adelante! Fund Alumni Association
We are proud to report that every student who has participated in ¡Adelante! programs has either earned a Bachelor’s degree or is actively pursuing a degree. Our annual conferences and special events held throughout the year provide opportunities for ¡Adelante! Alumni and current program participants to interact and share their perspectives on their respective stages of academic and professional development.
The ¡Adelante! Fund Alumni Association is a community of successful individuals from all over the United States. One of our goals is to establish a national network of young leaders and mentors that, together will change the face of the Corporate World and pave the way for future successful Latino leadership.
Here are some short stories featuring our alumni:
Margarita Diego
Graduated December 2007 from University of the Incarnate Word
“I am working for Mass Mutual. I just finished my training last week, and enjoying every part of it.”
Victoria Ortega
Graduated December 2007 from Our Lady of the Lake University
“Since I graduated, I started a new position with Santos Tax Service. It has been great and I am learning a lot.
It has been very busy, but extremely rewarding.”
Evelyn Galgoul Bitencourt
Graduated May 2007 : Texas A&M University in College Station with a
BBA in Finance.
“I have started a one year master's program in the UK at Lancaster University (3 hours north of London).
The course is titled MSC International Business Economics and it has been quite an experience thus far.
Out of the 24 students, 22 are international students. Having the opportunity to interact with so many
different cultures is a great asset ofstudying at Lancaster.”
Adjusting to the British system has honestly been unexpectedly difficult but I hope that this challenge
will reap some reward later. I will graduate in September and so am currently looking for a job.
I am currently looking at economic or business consulting opportunities.
