¡Hola! My name is Andrés López and I work as the Hispanic/LatinX and Neighborhood Campus Minister at the University of Dayton. As a minister for the Hispanic/LatinX population on campus, I serve students, their families and other faculty and staff who experience a sense of longing for a piece of home in Dayton, Ohio. Hence, hosting a variety of events that celebrate the various Hispanic/LatinX cultures, identities and spiritualities.
I was born and raised in El Paso, Texas, a border city with Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, México. My family consists of my parents, three brothers and one sister. Being raised in La Frontera, I am proud to be fully bilingual. I also consider myself a Human Rights & Social Justice advocate.
