This was one of the activities that was featured during Hispanic Awareness Week, the crowd was a good mix of Latino and American students, who sang along to some of the tunes and were marveled at the ability of the performers. Without a doubt, it was one of the most colorful and versatile activities during Hispanic Awareness Week.

Daisy Fuentes rise to fame is one of the great Hispanic success stories. Born in Cuba in 1966, she moved at age 3 to Spain, and four years later she moved to Harrison, New Jersey. It was there in 1986, while studying communications and journalism at Bergen Community College, that she started her career in television. She worked as news reporter and anchor for the evening news on WXTV (channel 41 ), an affiliate for Univision. In 1988 she changed stations to WNJU (channel! 47)a Telemundo affiliate. Her ability, good looks, and excellent command of English and Spanish landed her the job of hosting "MTV Internacional," MTV's weekly syndicated Spanish-language video program, for their successful six-year run. She did some modeling, and today she is mentioned in the same breath as supermodels Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer and Jenny McCarthy. Ms. Fuentes has also a contract with Revlon's cosmetic line. She has appeared in numerous covers of magazines such as Cosmopolitan Vanidades and Harper's Bazaar. She has also incursioned in the restaurant business. Currently, she is working on the second calendar that will feature her, and is still working (at times) with MTV and MTV Latino. Fuentes remains single, and is considering starting a movie career. Fuentes' popularity has spawned a calendar, numerous fan clubs, and websites. Fuentes remain true to her Latino roots, as she still lives in Miami, and does charitable work for Hispanic organizations By Francisco Corral l------'fp Alpha Psi Hispanic Lambda Engineering Woman Students 1st Runner Up Honored
