John Quiñones Visits Campus

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Colgate chapter.

 On Thursday, September 29, John Quiñones – Emmy award winning co-anchor of ABC’s Primetime and host of the show What Would You Do? – came to speak to the Colgate community as part of the annual celebration of  Latino Heritage Month on campus. He spoke about his experience growing up as a seventh-generation Hispanic in San Antonio, Texas. He emphasized the importance of hard work and determination in the face of adversity.

Thanks so much for the contribution by Marilyn Hernandez-Stroop ’14 on John Quiñones:
