University of Rochester becomes co-sponsor of rally for Hispanic girls | democratandchronicle.com | Democrat and Chronicle

The snow and cold temperatures on Saturday didn’t keep about 150 young Hispanic girls and their parents from attending the annual rally for ¡Soy Unica! ¡Soy Latina!(I am unique! I am Latina!).

Entering its sixth year, the event has a new partner — the University of Rochester.

The college is now a prime sponsor of the rally along with advocacy group Latinas Unidas. Free rally events were held on the university’s River campus.

Latinas ages 7 through 17 toured the college and participated in workshops on financial literacy, self-esteem, nutrition and career planning. Workshops were also held for parents.”*
