As part of the application, you must write one page describing your journey so far as a Latinx college student with the following focus:
- Discuss what your education has meant for you and your family and the importance of education for the Latinx community.
- Also include a discussion of specific obstacles that you faced and overcame so far in your educational journey, and who or what helped you to overcome these obstacles.
To apply, please submit the Student Speaker application form by Friday, May 6

The Latinx Graduation and Recognition Ceremony was established in 1993 to recognize the accomplishments of Latinx students at De Anza College.
Believing that student success should be celebrated, a small group of Latinx staff members organized institutional and community support to launch this event, which has grown into an annual tradition for students, families and friends.
