Hispanic Americans in higher education can serve as visionaries, or leaders but will <strong>ALWAYS<\/strong> be seen as mentors; as we need to use our roles to help pave the way and aid in cross-cultural collaboration, and ensure the next generation is ready to drive progress and innovation in a multicultural society. This can be tough, since Hispanic-Americans are often seen as a cultural monolith, but the role each of us carries forward must be broad enough for everyone to be included, while being true to where we came from.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Para poder crear un futuro juntos debemos de poder encontrar la manera de actuar como un nexo entre nuestras ra\u00edces y el futuro hacia el cual se dirigen nuestras universidades (y, en gran medida, nuestro pa\u00eds). Los hispanoamericanos en educaci\u00f3n terciaria podemos actuar como visionarios o l\u00edderes, pero <\/span><b>SIEMPRE<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> seremos percibidos como mentores. Necesitamos aprovechar nuestras posiciones para abrir camino, facilitar la colaboraci\u00f3n intercultural y de esta forma asegurarnos que las pr\u00f3ximas generaciones est\u00e9n listas para impulsar el progreso y la innovaci\u00f3n en una sociedad tan multicultural como la nuestra. Honestamente, esta no es tarea f\u00e1cil, ya que a menudo, a los hispanoamericanos, somos vistos como un grupo homog\u00e9neo, pero el rol que cada uno de nosotros asume debe ser lo suficientemente amplio como para incluir a la mayor cantidad de personas posibles, esto, sin perder nunca la esencia de d\u00f3nde venimos.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8211; Guillermo de Veyga, Ph.D., M.B.A.<br \/>\nExecutive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.saintpeters.edu\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/230\/files\/2026\/09\/ChatGPT-Image-Sep-17-2026-03_05_12-PM.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.saintpeters.edu\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/230\/files\/2026\/09\/ChatGPT-Image-Sep-17-2026-03_05_12-PM.png\" alt=\"photo of Michael Soto\" width=\"177\" height=\"275\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-13478\" \/><\/a>Whenever a student asks what I do, I respond: &#8220;I change the world.&#8221; Then I add: &#8220;And your curiosity and creativity and eventually your successful career is how I change the world.
