As a result of the interviews, the School Board Nominating Commission chose four of the interviewees to join the board, H. Rosanna being one of them. She is very excited to join the board. H.

Sigma Lambda Upsilon/Señoritas Latinas Unidas Sorority, Inc. was founded on December 1, 1987 at Binghamton University as an organization that would provide sisterhood and support while also promoting academic achievement, service to the community and cultural enrichment. Today, 18 years later, the sorority's purpose remains to unite women committed to seeking the advancement of under-represented populations.
