Class of 2016

The Class of 2016 as chosen by The Alumni Society advisory board and highlighted in our 2016 magazine.

Gerry Lopez

At the beginning of his career, after completing his master’s degree in business at Harvard University, Gerardo “Gerry” Lopez discussed job possibilities with Procter & Gamble, where he had interned over the summer.

Claudia Marmolejo

Whether meeting with clients or with a nonprofit’s board of directors, Claudia Marmolejo always has an eye on helping others.

Pablo Molina

If knowledge is power, then technology is a sword students can use to seize it in a coup. That’s the sense one gets when talking to Dr. Pablo Molina, chief information officer of the Association of American Law Schools (AALS), a trade association that upholds and advances excellence in legal education.

Charles Garcia

Charles Garcia knows with absolute certainty his purpose in life: to inspire and connect others to achieve extraordinary things.

Eliana Murillo

It’s not hard to find the common thread in Eliana Murillo’s career. From her days at Harvard University to her time at Google, she’s looked to create and identify opportunities for underrepresented people and groups.

José Ramón González

It was never apparent to José Ramón González that growing up in a big family was an asset—until he led a legal department through a restructuring.

Marta Tellado

When a child grows up as a political refugee, democracy is not an abstraction—it’s personal. At three years old, Marta Tellado’s family arrived in the United States from Cuba.

Priscilla Almodovar

When Priscilla Almodovar first set eyes on Capitol Park Historic District in Detroit, Michigan, five years ago, her initial impressions of the historic Motor City neighborhood were far from positive.

Luis Ubiñas

In the 1970s, New York’s South Bronx neighborhood was the urban equivalent of the Wild West. Not the romantic interpretation seen in movies, defined by chaps and lassoes, but the historical one: loose, lawless, and lethal.

Michael Montelongo

He calls them his “angels along the way.” It’s a strong statement, to be sure, but it’s not an empty platitude.
