Latina alumna awarded for achievements in community

IU alumna Maria Luz Corona never considered failure to be an option. Holding positions as a secretary in a steel mill, a civil rights intern, a social worker and now a judge for the domestic relations court in Gary, Corona serves as a source of inspiration for Latinos throughout the country.

Saturday afternoon at the Distinguished Latino Alumni Award luncheon, Corona was honored for excellence in her community, northwest Indiana. The Latino Alumni Association also awarded junior Isabel Estevez a scholarship for her achievements. Estevez is currently studying in Paris, and her mother Magdalena Herdoiza-Estevez accepted the award on her behalf.
