Tapestry Award for Alvarez

alvarez.jpgSilvia Alvarez, a graduate student from Guatemala, is the 2007 recipient of the University's Women of Color Tapestry Award. The annual award is granted to individuals who help create a thriving campus community where diversity is welcomed and supported. Alvarez, who moved to Minnesota with her husband and three children three years ago to pursue a master's degree in educational policy and administration, is credited with promoting the Latino culture and Spanish language by creating a bilingual radio show on RadioK.

Congratulations, Silvia!
