How are you staying productive during quarantine?
I am staying productive by keeping my schoolwork organized and trying to set a schedule in my daily routine. I am trying to do all of my schoolwork in a designated area to keep me focused and I set time limits on myself for how long I can be on my phone throughout the day. Consistency is key, and I’m just trying to stay organized and focused! 🤓

¡ATENCIÓN! 🗣

Please join us for our first general body meeting of the quarter. We will be discussing the federal stimulus package and how it impacts undocumented immigrants. We will be having this meeting tomorrow Monday, April 20th at 5 pm via Zoom. Hope to see you all there!

Have you heard about Ban the Box? Come to general body tomorrow @ 5 pm to learn more about the movement happening here on campus. A representative from Students Against Incarceration will be there to present on the topic and educate us on what this movement stands for. Open minds wanted and pizza provided 🍕

It’s always nice to see old and new faces at the beginning of the academic year! Thank you to our members who came out in support of our org, and a huge welcome to first year and transfer students. We are so excited for you to join our familia and enjoy the special programs we have to offer :-)

It’s a bittersweet symphony. We had the opportunity to recognize DALE leaders and the incredible efforts they have made to empower Latinx students at DePaul University to be leaders in their communities. Also, thank you to our retiring advisor, Anita Rosso, for your council and support of our organization. Everyone’s hard work is the reason DALE remains the largest and oldest Latinx organization at the university.
————————————————
DALE also had the honor of receiving recognition at the 23rd Latinx Graduation Ceremony for our outstanding service and leadership to the DePaul community. This would not have happened without the hard work of our executive board, but especially our President Michael Contreras Aceves. Thank you to our familia who have always shown us love and support to carry on DALE’s legacy and mission of empowering our members. @ Depaul Alliance for Latinx Empowerment
