2017-2018 Scholarship Recipient: Alexandra Navarro-Guzman

Being an International Business, one of my many passions lie with visiting other places and experiencing different cultures. I plan to graduate in May 2020 with a double major in International Business and Human Resource Management from Northern Kentucky University. The Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Scholarship has allowed me to step outside of my comfort zone and travel abroad in the Summer of 2018. This opportunity has allowed me to visit 7 countries in Eastern-Europe while visiting over 14 cities. I am

2016-2017 Scholarship Recipient: Natalie Castillo Testimony

I moved to Cincinnati a few years ago when I began my career at Xavier University, and although my home was only 3 ours away, I felt that I was far from my family and Hispanic traditions. I had to say goodbye to my mom's Mexican cooking, our endless nights of dancing, our afternoons of conversation in Spanish and English, and my favorite, Abuelita's hot chocolate.  It was wonderful to discover the family that the chamber has offered me since I got a phone call last year informing me that I had received a

Mr. Cornejo and Chamber,    I'm happy to let you know that after working hard, I have received one of the best news in my life. I have been hired as a intern. The process of looking for an internship had been hard, but after all I got the chance.     Throughout this time, I started feeling frustrated because I though hat it would be so hard or perhaps impossible to find an internship as an international student. I saw people with the same skills that I have finding jobs very easily.    Since I got

2015-2016 Scholarship Recipient: Bianca Menedin Testimony

Dear mr. Cornejo and chamber volunteers  In December, I received the best news in my life so far, I was hired for an internship. I had been trying with countless efforts trying to get a job in the United States but my status of international student made this be almost impossible.  It was very frustrating because I saw people with the same or less qualifications than me getting good internships/ jobs and all I could do was keep trying.  Since I got involved with the camera I met many good people and in

Fiesta Del Pueblo History

“Fiesta del pueblo” or town party has a very long history in the Latino world. Its origin is not quite clear, but it appears to have evolved in Spain, probably in the 11th or 12th century. In some towns it was used to celebrate the work of the key craftsmen of the town; in more rural areas it may have been to celebrate the harvest, much as other cultures celebrate the harvest. It was brought to America by the Spanish, undoubtedly Catholic missionaries, as another aspect of their quest to convert Latin

It is was made in a large warehouse and was transported a couple of days before the event to Riverbend, where it was assembled and hung high to be seen from miles around. It was “broken” on Sunday afternoon with prizes and candy for all the children present at

Cinco De Mayo History

Introduction The holiday of Cinco De Mayo, The Fifth Of May, commemorates the victory of the Mexicans over the French army at The Battle Of Puebla in 1862. It is primarily a regional holiday celebrated in the Mexican state capital city of Puebla and throughout the state of Puebla but is also celebrated in other parts of the country and in U.S.cities with a significant Mexican population. It is not, as many people think, Mexico’s Independence Day, which is actually September 16.Setting The Stage The battle
