Did you know Bilingual Education in New York has direct ties to the struggle, leadership, and advocacy of the Puerto Rican community? From Sonia Nieto, Diana Caballero, Alice Cardona, Evelina Antonetty and more, the fight for equity and accessibility in bilingual education lives on today! Skip class 😉 and RSVP today to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Urban Education PhD Program at the CUNY Graduate Center!
