The Todd A. Hernández Endowed Excellence Fund was established in memory of Dr. Todd Hernández, the beloved and much missed professor of Spanish at Marquette. The fund provides stipends for Marquette students who are participating in unpaid internships using Spanish or serving Spanish-speaking communities. The fund also supports at least one DREAM Fellowship for Professional Empowerment per year, provided the student’s learning experience involves the use of Spanish. Learn more and apply.
