“Two Latinos who are the first in their families to attend college have taken student leadership roles at Harper College.

Miguel Hernandez, 25, of Hoffman Estates, was elected student senate president, while Alaine Garcia, 32, of Wheeling, is the Harper board’s latest student trustee.

Both said they’re excited to give Latinos, who make up 18 percent of Harper’s 25,300 students, proper representation within the college’s bodies of government.”*
