“My culture is very important to me, it influences my life in so many ways, my values, views, what is important to me. I come from a country, Spain, that is so rich in its cultures and traditions, and I feel very proud and think it’s important to celebrate it. I think it’s important to share our cultures, it is easier to understand each other when knowing where we come from.” Ricardo Berenguer ‘21 “Growing up with a father from Greece and a mother from Sweden complicated my cultural identity. It was tough for me as a kid, not knowing which side to choose. As I grew older and moved back and forth between the two countries, I realized that I had the best of two worlds. The cultural combination and experience I got from living in both countries made me a better person. That is one of the reasons I decided to study at St.Francis College in Brooklyn; To interact with more cultures and experience living in a new environment.” Leonidas Athanasoulias ‘24. #ncaainclusion #sfctogether
