The IR Program is proud to congratulate Javier Hernandez, a senior with us, for being awarded the "Eyes on the Prize" award by the Philadelphia chapter of the AFL-CIO. Javier was distinguished for his efforts in social justice and labor rights, embodying the spirit Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. applied to his work. Congratulations, Javier!
