ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT

Richard Izquierdo

Class of 2007

Richard Izquierdo is not a stranger to the struggles that shaped Hostos Community College; he was born into them. Born in the South Bronx in 1976, during a time that many called the “burning” years, in the aftermath of the fires when the Bronx was burning, he witnessed firsthand the fight for survival and dignity in the South Bronx. “People were being displaced. Communities were being decimated,” he recalls. “It was a time of activism where leaders emerged from the Puerto Rican community to fight for better healthcare, education for our children, and so many other things.” His story is a powerful reminder of the resilience and unity that have defined our institution, making it a fitting celebration for Puerto Rican Heritage Month.
