A recent video contest hosted by the VOCES Oral History Project through the School of Journalism at The University of Texas at Austin highlighted several powerful stories from Latinos and Latinas who served in WWII and the Korean and Vietnam Wars with Intellectual Entrepreneurship Consortium (IE) participant Rosa Pruneda receiving first-place.
Pruneda’s work was her project for the IE pre-graduate school internship, designed to connect undergraduates with faculty and seasoned graduate students to explore what makes graduate school unique to that of an undergraduate education in areas such as research. Each year, IE helps approximately 300 students from nearly every academic discipline on campus to find educational and career direction.
