The Professor Edna Viruell-Fuentes Memorial Fund honors our dear former colleague, who touched all within the Department until her untimely passing in 2020. To read more about Dr. Viruell-Fuentes, visit here. This fund will financially support Latinx students within LLS with unpaid internships, with assistance in presenting at conferences, and with scholarships for research in the field of Latino/a immigration. Dr. Viruell-Fuentes’ immigration experience shaped her research, and her impact to our Department can best be measured by the numerous students and colleagues who she impacted as a mentor, collaborator, and friend.
