Latino at the top of his graduating class!!
Omar De Leon, National Graduate Representative, and past Region VII Student Representative, was selected among six of the top students at the University of Miami to be the Student Commencement Speaker for the graduating class of over 2500 students. He graduated first in his environmental engineering class at the University of Miami, where he earned a B.S. in Civil Engineering and a B.S. in Environmental Engineering. He is currently pursuing a graduate degree in those fields at Carnegie Mellon University.
Omar is another outstanding example of the potential of Hispanic youth in the USA. The future of the Hispanic community and the United States is riding on the continued success of Hispanic youth such as Omar. As SHPE National President, I am confident when I say that we are very proud of Omar!!
