Elijah Ruiz: 'I have a stronger sense of who I am, and who I want to be'

What was your favorite class and why?My favorite class was Latinos in the U.S. taught by Prof. Vélez. It was inspiring and comforting to hear stories of many Latinx cultures and see so many Latinx students in the classroom. I learned a lot about my Puerto Rican heritage, and am honored to know that I am a continuation of the legacy of Puerto Ricans coming to Cornell for their undergrad education.
