ENGLISH

he story about Dr. Anne Prisco, the new president of Holy Family University in Philadelphia, is hopeful because it opens the door to differences and puts solidarity in mind as one of its core values.

“The truth is, I liked trying to help solve problems, make things better for students, faculty, and staff.” This is how she responds after a long and challenging career in higher education. Her answer is also related to her personal and professional growth, and the challenges that she assumed. Dr. Prisco is the first lay president of the Holy Family and she puts a high mark on noting that her priority is to put the university at the service of the changing demographics of the city.

In the political section, there is an article that takes stock of local achievements after Election Day, beyond the balance of forces between Democrats and Republicans. One of them is the appearance of a significant group of leaders throughout the United States who represent the diversity of the country that, with its strength, is increasingly visible.

In this edition you will also find details of the meaning of ‘Encanto’ , the Disney and Pixar production, which pays tribute to Colombian multiculture and aspects of its geography. The yellow butterflies, which García Márquez immortalized in ‘One Hundred Years of Solitude’, the wax palm -the national tree of Colombia- and the biodiversity in flora and fauna are part of this wonderful story starred by the Madrigal family.

l artículo sobre la vida de la Dra. Anne Prisco, la nueva presidenta de la Universidad Sagrada Familia de Filadelfia, es esperanzador porque abre la puerta a las diferencias y pone de presente la solidaridad como uno de sus valores centrales.

“La verdad es que me gustaba tratar de ayudar a resolver problemas, mejorar las cosas para los estudiantes, la facultad y el personal”.

Es una de sus respuestas a partir de una larga y retadora carrera dentro de la educación superior. También guarda una relación con su crecimiento personal y profesional y los retos que fue asumiendo. Es la primera presidenta laica de la Sagrada Familia y pone un punto muy alto al advertir que su prioridad es ponerla al servicio de la cambiante demografía de la ciudad.

Por otro lado, en el tema político, después de las últimas elecciones, se hace un balance de los logros locales, más allá del balance de fuerzas entre demócratas y republicanos. Uno de ellos es la aparición de un grupo significativo de líderes en todo Estados Unidos y que representan la diversidad del país que, con su pujanza, es cada vez más visible.

En esta edición también encontrará detalles de lo que significa ‘Encanto’, la producción de Disney y Pixar, que hace un homenaje a la multicultura colombiana y aspectos de su geografía. Las mariposas amarillas, que García Márquez inmortalizó en ‘Cien años de Soledad’, la palma de cera -el árbol nacional de Colombia- y la biodiversidad en flora y fauna ponen parte del sello en esta historia que protagoniza la familia Madrigal.

xelon recently announced that it has appointed Carlos Gutierrez to join its board of directors.

Gutierrez served as U.S. Secretary of Commerce from 2005 to 2009, and is currently the CEO and executive chairman of EmPath, Inc., a SaaS technology platform that uses machine learning to identify employee skills for large organizations.

Mayo Shattuck, chairman of Exelon, praised Gutierrez’s “deep and well-rounded perspective on the work of the board,” given his unique background in technology, government service and corporate leadership at a Fortune 500 company.

“His expertise in global and domestic economics, corporate and financial management, strategic thinking and effective leadership will greatly benefit Exelon,” added Shattuck.

Prior to his role at EmPath, Gutierrez served as chair of the global strategic advisory firm, Albright Stonebridge Group.

AN IMPRESSIVE CAREER

In November 2004, then-President George W. Bush appointed him to become the next U.S. Secretary of Commerce, after his predecessor Donald Evans announced his intentions to resign. In January 2005, he was officially sworn in as the 35th U.S. Secretary of Commerce and served in the role through Bush’s second term in office.

During his four-year tenure as Secretary of Commerce, Gutierrez worked with foreign government and business leaders to advance economic relation-

Gutierrez was also co-chair of the U.S. Commission for Assistance to a Free Cuba.

Prior to being appointed Secretary of Commerce, Gutierrez had spent nearly 30 years with Kellogg Company, one of the global manufacturers and marketers of well-known food brands. He originally joined Kellogg in 1975 as a sales representative, and gradually rose up the ranks to eventually becoming the youngest and first Hispanic CEO in the company’s 100-year history in 1999.

A year later, he was named chairman of the Kellogg Company board.

Gutierrez’s career has spanned across various countries and continents,

UNA CARRERA DE IMPRESIÓN

Durante sus cuatro años como Secretario de Comercio, Gutiérrez trabajó con gobiernos y empresarios extranjeros para impulsar las relaciones económicas, mejorar el comercio y promover las exportaciones estadounidenses.

ELECTION DAY 2021 MAY HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS ON THE NATIONAL SCALE FOR DEMS, BUT LOCALLY, MANY NEW FACES STILL WON OFFICE. PUEDE QUE EL DÍA DE LAS ELECCIONES 2021 FUERA DESASTROSO A NIVEL NACIONAL PARA LOS DEMÓCRATAS, PERO A NIVEL LOCAL, MUCHAS CARAS NUEVAS LOGRARON CARGOS.

ENGLISH

y now, it’s old news that the Democratic Party got washed on Election Day 2021.

A big loss in Virginia and a razor-thin victory in New Jersey for the party spells trouble in the immediate future of the 2022 midterm elections.

However, look a little further down the pipeline at new leaders popping up on local political scenes across the country, and the picture looks a little less bleak at least from the standpoint of having public officials that represent the country’s plethora of cultural backgrounds.

In that view, 2021 was yet another year where diversity in public office expanded, and it will continue to do so until the national stage catches up.

BREAKINWG BOSTON’S WHITE MALE HISTORY

Take Boston for example. Long a white male dominated city, Michelle Wu has become the first woman and person of color to be elected its mayor.

Wu, the daughter of Taiwanese immigrants, defeated fellow Democrat Annissa Essaibi-George, ending the city’s 200-year history of electing white men.

“We are ready to become a Boston that doesn’t push people out, but welcomes all who call our city home. We’re ready to be a Boston where all can afford to stay and to thrive,” Wu said.

Wu made history once before in 2016 — another year on the national stage that screamed setback — when she became the

estas alturas, ya no es noticia que el Partido Demócrata sufrió un fuerte revés en las Elecciones 2021.

La gran derrota sufrida en Virginia y la justa victoria en Nueva Jersey significan para el partido problemas en el futuro inmediato, con las elecciones de Midterm 2022.

Sin embargo, a nivel local la realidad es que han aparecido en escena un buen número de nuevos líderes en todo el país, y el panorama parece un poco menos sombrío, al menos desde el punto de vista de tener cargos públicos que representen la diversidad cultural del país.

En ese sentido, 2021 volvió a ser un año en el que se expandió la diversidad en los cargos públicos, algo que continuará ocurriendo hasta que la escena nacional se equilibre.

LOGRO HISTÓRICO EN BOSTON

Boston es un ejemplo: Una ciudad dominada por hombres blancos a lo largo de la historia que ha elegido a Michelle Wu en la primera mujer y persona de color en ser elegida alcaldesa.

Hija de inmigrantes taiwaneses, Wu derrotó a su compañera demócrata Annissa Essaibi-George, poniendo fin a 200 años de alcaldía dominada por hombres blancos.

“Estamos listos para hacer de Boston una ciudad que no expulsa a la gente, sino que da la bienvenida a todos los que la llaman hogar. Estamos listos para hacer de Boston un lugar donde todos puedan permitirse el lujo de quedarse y prosperar “, dijo Wu. Wu ya hizo historia en 2016 —otro año clave para la diversidad a escala nacional —, al convertirse en la primera estadounidense de origen asiático en servir como presidenta del Ayuntamiento. También obtuvo varios respaldos clave durante su campaña para la alcaldía, incluidos los senadores estatales Elizabeth Warren y Ed Markey.

ack on Friday, Nov. 5, Congress finally passed one of two major bills part of President Joe Biden’s agenda for America.

The $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill is one that will provide much-needed support for the country’ degrading roadways, public transportation systems and help create more Internet infrastructure.

In the beginning of the talks around the bill, immigrants were thought to be included as infrastructure, especially following the thousands that propped up the country in essential jobs during the dog days of the COVID-19 pandemic.

As a result, there was an early thought that a pathway to citizenship for the undocumented would be included until it was negotiated out.

That too has been chipped away at, and the Senate Parliamentarian has ruled against including immigration reform as part of the bill.

But the Senate Parliamentarian is only an advisor, and immigration activists are demanding the advice remain unheeded.

l Congreso aprobó finalmente el pasado 5 de noviembre uno de los dos principales proyectos de ley que forman parte de la agenda nacional del presidente Joe Biden. El proyecto de ley de infraestructura, presupuestado en 1,2 billones de dólares, proporcionará la tan necesitada ayuda para mejorar el degradante estado de las carreteras del país, los sistemas de transporte público y las infraestructuras de Internet.

Al comienzo de las conversaciones sobre el proyecto de ley se creía que los inmigrantes estaban incluidos como infraestructura, teniendo en cuenta el papel clave que tuvieron a la hora de llevar servicios esenciales durante los peores días de la pandemia COVID-19. Como resultado, se creyó que el proyecto de ley incluiría la vía hacia la ciuda-

Ahora, cuando se ve que la inmigración ya no se considera infraestructura, la atención se ha centrado en el resto de la Ley Build Back Better, también conocida como el proyecto de ley de reconciliación presupuestaria. Sin embargo, esta parte también ha sido eliminada, y en el Senado se han pronunciado en contra de incluir la reforma migratoria como parte del proyecto de ley.

D.C, Seattle and Philadelphia took to the streets to convey a strong message to Congress on the matter.

It is to disregard the Senate Parliamentarian’s opinion and include a pathway to citizenship in the budget reconciliation package.

In Philadelphia, a crowd gathered outside of Senator Bob Casey’s office on 20th and Market streets, to demand a clear pathway to citizenship for all 11 million undocumented immigrants.

Make the Road PA, New Sanctuary Movement, Pennsylvania Immigrant & Citizenship Coalition, Woori Center, and the Movement of Immigrant Leaders in PA, joined State Reps. Chris Rabb and Danilo Burgos to make the message loud and clear, that immigrants can’t wait any longer.

Maegan Llerena, the executive director of Make the Road Pennsylvania, spoke first, stating the purpose of the rally.

“We are here today because there are 11 million undocumented folks that have been promised a pathway to citizenship time and time again, and have been let down. That’s not right. My tíos, mis tías, mis amigos, mi gente, they deserve a pathway to citizenship,” Llerena said.

Make the Road PA, New Sanctuary Movement, Pennsylvania Immigrant & Citizenship Coalition, Woori Center y Movement of Immigrant Leaders in PA se unieron a los representantes estatales Chris Rabb y Danilo Burgos para transmitir el mensaje, alto y claro, de que los inmigrantes no pueden esperar más tiempo.

‘PUT UP OR SHUT UP’

Llerena manifestó que ya no es suficiente que los políticos declaren a través de llamadas telefónicas o reuniones que apoyan a los inmigrantes y luego no cumplan sus promesas de apoyar sus causas y garantizar un camino hacia la ciudadanía permanente.

THE BIG SCAM

First, the very idea of climate change was rejected. Then it had to do with human activity and industrialization. The interest was in exonerating the fossil fuel extractors. (…) Later, the efforts were focused in trying to combat environmental policies (…) Facing the double scientific evidence, the increase in temperatures and the ability to stop it, everything is now focused on avoiding drastic measures that could harm the enormous interests, especially of oil, gas and coal producers. (…) In Glasgow a fictitious environmentalism has been exhibited (…). It is called greenwashing, in which in one way or another everyone participates, starting with China and the United States when they assure that they will work by all means so that the temperature of the planet does not increase beyond two degrees, without entering into specific obligations of emissions reductions. Non-binding agreements, (…), vague financial commitments, all this is part of the perverse green face lift, of the great scam. Comment by Lluís Bassets, published on November 13, 2021 Primero se rechazaba la idea misma del cambio climático. Luego que tuviera que ver con la actividad humana y con la industrialización. Interesaba desculpabilizar a los extractores de combustibles fósiles. (…) más tarde se trató de combatir las políticas medioambientales (…) Ante la doble evidencia científica, sobre el incremento de temperaturas y sobre la capacidad para frenarlo, todo se centra ahora en evitar las medidas drásticas que pudieran dañar los enormes intereses, especialmente de los productores de petróleo, gas y carbón. (…) en Glasgow se ha exhibido un ecologismo ficticio (…). Es el greenwashing, en el que de una forma u otra todos participan, empezando por China y Estados Unidos cuando aseguran con todo el aplomo que trabajarán para que la temperatura del planeta no aumente más allá de dos grados, sin entrar en obligaciones concretas de reducción de emisiones. Acuerdos no vinculantes, (…), vagos compromisos financieros, todo esto forma parte del perverso lavado de cara verde, de la gran estafa.

WE ARE ALL MORE GOOD THAN BAD

Since the Nobel Peace Prize was invented in 1901 there have been fifteen occasions (…) when it was not given to anyone. The custom should have been repeated more. For example, (…) it could have happened with Henry Kissinger, (…) who was awarded the Nobel the same year in which he blessed the bombing of Cambodia (…). There is also Barack Obama. (…) (…) One who died this week caused controversy on his day. Frederik de Klerk, the last white president of South Africa, shared the award in 1993 with Nelson Mandela. (…) As an act of atonement, he initiated the curious custom of writing letters to Mandela after his death. (…) If Mandela had been able to read those letters, his heart would have softened. And even more so if he had been able to see the extraordinary video that De Klerk recorded as a political act at the end of his life, made public on Thursday, hours after his death. (…) “I unreservedly apologize for the pain and suffering and the indignity and damage that apartheid caused to blacks, brunettes and Hindus in South Africa.” Mandela (…) might have finally recognized that De Klerk did deserve the Nobel.

Commentary by John Carlin, posted Nov. 13.

Desde que se inventó el Premio Nobel de la Paz en 1901 ha habido quince ocasiones (…) en las que no se lo dieron a nadie. La costumbre se debería haber repetido más. Por ejemplo, (…) podría haber pasado con Henry Kissinger, (…) al que le dieron el premio el mismo año en el que bendijo el bombardeo de Camboya (…). Ahí está también Barack Obama. (…) (…) uno que murió esta semana, provocó controversia en su día. Frederik de Klerk, el último presidente blanco de Sudáfrica, compartió el premio en 1993 con Nelson Mandela. (…) Como acto de expiación, inició la curiosa costumbre de escribirle cartas a Mandela después de su muerte. (…) si Mandela hubiera podido leer esas cartas se le hubiera ablandado el corazón. Y más todavía si hubiese podido ver el extraordinario video que De Klerk grabó como acto político final de su vida, hecho público el jueves, horas después de su muerte. (…) “Yo, sin reservas, pido perdón por el dolor y el sufrimiento y la indignidad y el daño que el apartheid causó a negros, morenos e hindúes en Sudáfrica”. Mandela (…) quizá hubiera reconocido finalmente que De Klerk sí se mereció el Nobel.

“Since the beginning of the pandemic, and especially since September with the resumption of face-to-face teaching, education has become a new front in American culture wars. These wars have been fueled by the possibility of including the Critical Theory of Race (…) in history programs, but also by disputes over the obligation to wear masks in class, suspension of classes and quarantine of groups of students in case of contagion. “(…) When it comes to things that happen far from the American metropolis, Democrats have underestimated parental discomfort (…) in places like Virginia, where school disputes were probably decisive in the election of Republican Glenn Youngkin (… ). “Now Republicans, convinced that they have discovered a goose that lays golden eggs, are putting the school struggle at the center of their campaign for the 2022 mid-term elections in other states as well, and calling for a ‘Bill of Rights of the Parents’”.

“Desde el comienzo de la pandemia, y especialmente desde septiembre con la reanudación de la enseñanza presencial, la educación se ha convertido en nuevo frente de guerras culturales estadounidenses.

hen Dr. Anne Prisco first arrived as the new president of Holy Family University in Philadelphia on July 12, 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic looked to finally be on the downward swing after more than a year of holding the world captive.

There was a robust vaccination campaign playing out, and people long holed up in their houses were beginning to rediscover the joys of being outside in the Summer and in the physical presence of other people.

Upon Prisco’s arrival, the plans were grand.

“We talked about having an inauguration in the Fall… everybody needs a big party and celebration, so won’t it be wonderful?” she said of the first week plans.

“Yeah right.”

Within a week of Prisco’s arrival, COVID-19 had reemerged in a new form — the Delta variant — and education leaders like her were left scrambling again to develop an action plan with the pandemic in mind.

The good news was that there wasn’t actually as much of said scrambling this time. There was a vaccine, and it was proven that wearing masks could stem a good amount of the virus transmission.

“We knew people were vaccinated and if they wore masks, that we were much more likely to be able to be together inside,” said Prisco.

With that in mind, the university quickly mandated vaccinations for all its students — something Prisco also said is in line with the university’s mission and values.

“We’re Holy Family. We’re responsible to each other, we care about our community. So how do we stay together? We get vaccinated and when we’re inside we put a mask on,” she said.

That message of community and responsibility to one another is what first drew Prisco to Holy Family from Felician University in North Jersey.

uando la Dra. Anne Prisco se estrenó el pasado 12 de julio como presidenta de la Universidad Sagrada Familia de Filadelfia, la pandemia de COVID-19 parecía estar cediendo después de más de un año de encierro a nivel mundial.

La campaña de vacunación estaba en pleno desarrollo y la gente, después de tanto tiempo encerrada en sus casas, empezaba a redescubrir la alegría de estar al aire libre y en compañía física de otras personas.

Con la llegada de Prisco, la universidad tenía grandes planes.

“Hablamos de organizar una inauguración en otoño. Todo el mundo necesitaba una gran fiesta y celebración, así que ¿no sería maravilloso?”, explicó, recordando los planes de su primera semana como presidenta. “Sí, claro.”

Una semana después de su llegada, el COVID-19 resurgía con fuerza bajo una nueva forma, la variante Delta, y los líderes educativos como ella se vieron obligados a desarrollar un nuevo plan de acción con la pandemia en mente.

La buena noticia era que esta vez no iba a ser tan complicado. Ya había una vacuna y estaba comprobado que el uso de mascarillas podía frenar bastante la transmisión del virus.

“Sabíamos que si la gente se vacunaba y usaba cubrebocas, sería mucho más probable poder estar todos juntos en el interior”, dijo Prisco.

Con eso en mente, la Universidad ordenó rápidamente que las vacunas fueran obligatorias para todos sus estudiantes, algo que para Prisco también estaba en línea con la misión y los valores de la institución.

“Somos la Sagrada Familia. Somos responsables los unos de los otros, nos preocupamos por nuestra comunidad. Así que, ¿cómo nos mantenemos unidos? Vacunándonos y llevando cubrebocas cuando estemos en el interior”, dijo.

Fue este mensaje de comunidad y responsabilidad mutua lo que atrajo a Prisco a la Sagrada Familia cuando aún trabajaba en la Universidad Fe-

Beyond the mission, values and strong academic standing, it also allowed her and husband to stay close to their roots in the Northeast.

ONE GENERATION

Prisco is the daughter of Italian immigrants born in Brooklyn, New York.

When describing her life journey from those beginnings, she offered a personalized version of a popular saying.

“What’s the difference between an immigrant construction worker and a university president?”

In Prisco’s case, it’s one generation, as her father was sponsored to come to the U.S. by a distant cousin in the 1950s.

He came to live out his American dream of getting work and starting a family.

For his kids, school became a number one priority, and a young Anne developed an early fondness for the environment throughout her time in Catholic grammar school and then when she transitioned to a much larger public high school.

“I aspired to be a secondary school teacher,” said Prisco. “To be a high school teacher in my family, that was aspirational.”

That desire to be in the classroom would stick with her throughout her career.

Her parents also supported her in that dream and she went locally to community college before getting some scholarships to make the first big jump from Brooklyn to the University of Arizona.

Prisco admits the move was not a popular one with her father, but let her go because they had family in nearby Phoenix.

“It was a very big deal,” she said.

But in many ways, Prisco’s first jump cross country continued her embrace of difference throughout her life.

It started with the first jump from grammar school to a large public school, and then from a diverse Democratic bastion like New York City to a red, but still diverse Arizona.

“I always say it’s good because it forces you to feel like the ‘other,’ and learn how to assimilate,” said Prisco.

She studied family and consumer science while also getting involved as a student organizer and working in the school’s financial aid office.

The latter would be the key experience she obtained to carry her career after undergrad.

Prisco is the daughter of Italian immigrants who first came to the U.S. in the 1950s.

Harrison Brink/AL DÍA News

Prisco es hija de inmigrantes italianos que llegaron por primera vez a Estados Unidos en la década de 1950.

A CAREER IN FINANCIAL AID

When Prisco graduated in 1979 and came back to New York City it was in the throes of a recession and she couldn’t find a teaching job. Instead, her first position was in Fordham University’s financial aid office as an entry-level financial aid counselor.

As she gained more experience, the world of financial aid opened her eyes to its ability to help people go to school and jumpstart their careers and lives. Prisco also found an interest in learning more about the rules and regulations around financial aid.

But to progress further, she also came to another realization.

“I opened my eyes to higher ed administration, and realized I kind of had

a knack for it. I liked it, but I better get an MBA because I really have no background in business,” said Prisco.

With that in mind, she got her Masters in Business Administration from Fordham and then went back to work at the university as an assistant director in its financial aid office.

AN MBA AND A DESIRE TO TEACH

“It was the early 80s, so it was real rara days in New York City. I could’ve just jumped on a subway, gone down to Wall Street. I had a degree in finance. I could’ve joined a Wall Street firm, but again, my heart was in education,” said Prisco.

From Fordham, at 25 years old, Prisco moved on to Saint Francis University

in Brooklyn as the director of its financial aid office.

“Everyone in the office was older that reported to me, all my peers across the institution were older than me,” she said.

PORTADA students, and the faculty and the staff,” she said. “How do we advance together?”

She would carry that attitude from Lehman to nearby Hunter College before making her next cross country move to Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, California, where she was the vice president for enrollment management.

Prisco stayed in Los Angeles for six years before coming back to the East Coast to take her first presidency at Felician University in 2012, where she was the first lay person to helm the institution.

To get over the divide, she’s learned over time to focus on the mission and values of the institution, and carrying them out.

“I think you have to become very intentional to be clear about your understanding,” said Prisco. “What does that mean in this day and age and how do we provide the right program and the right education opportunities for the students we’re called to serve now?”

Instead of demanding respect via seniority, she relied on intuitive professional development and honed in on the rules and regulations of financial aid to lead.

Within six years, Prisco was an executive director and “hit a wall” as she described the place in her life.

“I really want to teach. I miss the classroom. That’s what I got into this for,” were her thoughts.

Luckily, she soon got an adjunct position at St. Johns University teaching management and econ courses. It turned into a full-time teaching position that she held for 10 years.

The only thing to get Prisco to leave was to pursue a doctorate degree at Columbia University in economics and education while also trying to start a family.

“I’m not a superwoman,” she said. “I did not get to teach and pursue a P.h.D at Columbia University and raise my chil-

dren by myself. I have a supportive husband. We have two sets of grandparents who love my sons and want nothing more than to help us raise them.”

When she graduated again at 43, she was also not in a position anymore to take an entry-level job. After a year of doing research, Prisco caught wind from peers in the industry about an associate provost position at Lehman College. She applied, got it, and so began her introduction to higher ed leadership in 2001.

A JOURNEY TO HIGHER ED LEADERSHIP

Much like her introduction to financial aid, it piqued an interest for Prisco.

In Philadelphia at Holy Family, where she is also the first lay president in the school’s history, that means interacting with a lot of different populations.

At the top of Prisco’s list is positioning the school as best as possible to serve the changing demographics of the city.

According to the latest census data, that means more emphasis on Latinx, Asian and Black populations, which are all becoming bigger majorities in Philly as the decades pass.

“The whole idea of diversity and inclusion for me is a wonderful opportunity because there are lots of different people in Philly,” said Prisco. “How do we all get to learn together and be educated, and be in classrooms together? That’s how we learn from each other.”

Beyond embracing diversity, Prisco’s goals include making the university more integrated with its communities in Bucks County, Newtown, Northeast Philly and Center City, revamping its internship requirements for graduation and making sure the growing, diverse student body graduates with a solid foundation to build a career on.

All are things that have Prisco excited about Holy Family’s future. z

tinuidad a su deseo de abrazar las diferencias. Un deseo que empezó a desarrollar al saltar de la escuela primaria a una escuela pública más grande, y se consolidó saltando de un bastión demócrata tan diverso como la ciudad de Nueva York a un estado rojo, aunque también diverso, como Arizona.

“Siempre digo que [mudarse] es algo positivo porque te obliga a sentirte como el ‘otro’ y aprender a asimilar”, dijo Prisco.

lician, en North Jersey. Pero, más allá de la misión, los valores y la sólida posición académica también les permitía a ella y a su esposo permanecer cerca de sus orígenes, en el Noreste.

UNA GENERACIÓN ENTERA

Prisco es hija de inmigrantes italianos nacidos en Brooklyn, Nueva York. Cuando le contó a AL DÍA su trayectoria vital desde el inicio, optó por personalizar un dicho popular: “¿Qué diferencia hay entre un trabajador de la construcción inmigrante y un rector de universidad?”. En el caso de Prisco, una generación entera, ya que su padre para venir a los Estados Unidos en la década de los años 50 fue esponsorizado por un primo lejano, lo que le permitió vivir su sueño americano: conseguir trabajo y formar una familia.

Para sus hijos, la escuela se convirtió en la prioridad número uno. Ya de joven, Prisco desarrolló un enorme cariño por las aulas, primero en la escuela primaria católica y más tarde en la escuela secundaria pública, mucho más grande.

“Aspiraba a ser maestra de secundaria”, contó. “En mi familia, ser maestro de secundaria era una aspiración”. Ese deseo de estar en el aula permaneció en ella a lo largo de toda su carrera.

Sus padres la apoyaron en su sueño y estudió en un colegio comunitario local antes de obtener varias becas para dar su primer gran salto: de Brooklyn a la Universidad de Arizona.

Ahora confiesa que su decisión de marcharse a Arizona no le gustó mucho a su padre, pero acabó dejándola ir porque tenían familia en las cercanías de Phoenix. “Fue algo muy importante en mi vida”, recordó.

Por diversos motivos, su primer salto fuera de casa era una manera de dar con-

¿Qué diferencia hay entre un trabajador de la construcción inmigrante y un rector de universidad?

UNA CARRERA EN AYUDA FINANCIERA

Cuando ella se graduó y regresó a la ciudad de Nueva York, en 1979, se encontró en medio de una recesión y no pudo encontrar empleo como maestra. Como alternativa, aceptó un trabajo en la oficina de ayuda financiera de la Universidad de Fordham como consejera de nivel básico.

A medida que adquirió más experiencia, el mundo de la ayuda financiera le abrió los ojos a su capacidad para motivar a la gente a ir a la escuela y dar un impulso a sus carreras y vidas. Prisco también se interesó por aprender más sobre las reglas y regulaciones en torno a la ayuda financiera.

Pero para seguir avanzando, se dio cuenta de que le faltaba otra cosa. “Me propuse abrirme camino en el área de administración en la educación superior y me di cuenta de que tenía un don para ello.

Me gustaba, pero me iría mejor si obtenía un MBA, porque no tenía experiencia en negocios”, explicó.

Con eso en mente, obtuvo su Maestría en Administración de Empresas de Fordham y luego volvió a trabajar en la universidad como subdirectora de la oficina de ayuda financiera.

UN MBA Y EL DESEO DE ENSEÑAR

Prisco’s first higher ed leadership position was at Lehman College in 2001.

“Fue a principios de los 80, una época floreciente en la ciudad de Nueva York. Con mi licenciatura en finanzas podría haberme subido al metro y haber bajado a Wall Street y unirme a una firma, pero mi corazón, otra vez, estaba en la educación”, comentó Prisco.

NOVEMBER 17 - 24, 2021

PORTADA Con 25 años se trasladó de Fordham a la Universidad de Saint Francis, en Brooklyn, como directora de la oficina de ayuda financiera. “Todos los que tenía bajo mi cargo en la oficina eran mayores que yo, todos mis compañeros en la institución eran mayores que yo”, recordó.

En lugar de exigir respeto por antigüedad, su liderazgo se basó en un desarrollo profesional intuitivo y en perfeccionarse en cuanto a las reglas y regulaciones de la ayuda financiera.

En seis años, Prisco se convirtió en directora ejecutiva, pero sintió que “chocaba contra un muro” en lo que respecta a su carrera vital. “Tengo muchas ganas de enseñar. Extraño las aulas. Para eso me metí en esto”, fue lo que pensó en esa época.

Afortunadamente, pronto consiguió un puesto de profesora adjunta en la Universidad de St. Johns, impartiendo cursos de administración y economía. En poco tiempo se convirtió en profesora de tiempo completo, cargo que ocupó durante diez años.

Lo único que consiguió que Prisco abandonara su trabajo fue cursar un doc-

torado en economía y educación en la Universidad de Columbia y, al mismo tiempo, intentar formar una familia. “No soy una supermujer”, confesó. “No logré ser profesora, seguir un doctorado en Filosofía en la Universidad de Columbia y criar yo sola a mis hijos. Tengo un marido que me apoya. Tenemos dos pares de abuelos que aman a mis hijos y lo que más desean es ayudarnos a criarlos”.

Cuando se graduó de nuevo, con 43 años, ya no estaba en condiciones de aceptar un empleo de nivel básico. Después de un año dedicada a la investigación, Prisco se enteró por unos compañeros de profesión sobre un puesto de rector asociado en Lehman College. Se postuló, lo consiguió y así puso un primer pie en la gestión de la educación superior. Era el año 2001.

Prisco permaneció seis años en Los Ángeles hasta que en 2012 aceptó volver a la costa este como presidenta de la Universidad Felician, convirtiéndose en la primera persona laica en dirigir la institución.

Para superar esa brecha, Prisco aseguró que con el tiempo ha aprendido a centrarse en la misión y los valores de la institución y a llevarlos a cabo.

“Creo que tienes que ser muy intencional para dejar claro tu nivel de comprensión”, dijo. “¿Qué significa esto hoy en día y cómo proporcionamos el programa adecuado y las oportunidades educativas adecuadas para los estudiantes a los que estamos llamados a servir ahora?”

CONSTRUYENDO SOBRE UNA BASE

En la universidad Sagrada Familia de Filadelfia, donde también puede presumir de ser la primera presidenta laica en la historia de la escuela, eso significa interactuar con muchas comunidades diferentes.

La prioridad número uno de Prisco es posicionar la escuela lo mejor posible en lo que se refiere a servir a la cambiante demografía de la ciudad. Según los datos del último censo, eso significa más énfasis en las comunidades latinas, asiáticas y negras de Filadelfia, que en las últimas décadas se han convertido en mayorías cada vez más significativas de la ciudad.

“Me tomo la idea de diversidad e inclusión como una oportunidad maravillosa porque en Filadelfia hay muchas personas diferentes ”, dijo. “¿Cómo podemos aprender y formarnos todos juntos, y compartir las mismas aulas? Así es como aprendemos los unos de los otros”.

Más allá de abrazar la diversidad, los objetivos de Prisco incluyen hacer que la universidad esté más integrada con su comunidad en los condados de Bucks, Newtown, Northeast Philly y Center City, renovar sus requisitos de pasantías para la graduación y asegurarse de que el creciente y diverso cuerpo estudiantil se gradúe con una base sólida sobre la que construir su carrera.

Todas estas cosas son las que consiguen que Prisco enfoque con ilusión el futuro de la Universidad Sagrada Familia. z

Allí, cada uno de sus habitantes cuenta con una habilidad mágica, poderes que aprovechan para ayudar a la comunidad y a su entorno natural.

La familia está compuesta por Mirabel, protagonista principal de la historia, su abuela y matriarca de la familia Alma, sus padres, Julieta y Agustín, las hermanas, Isabela y Luisa, así como sus tíos, Félix y Pepa, y los primos Dolores, Camilo y Antonio. El misterio se lo aporta Bruno, tío de Mirabel del que nadie tiene permitido hablar.

“Encanto”, produced by Byron Howard, Jared Bush and Clark Spencer, the same creators of Zootopia, the 2017 Oscar-winning animated film, tells the story of the Madrigal family who live deep in the mountains of Colombia in a traditional town called Charm. There, each of its inhabitants has a magical ability, powers that they take advantage of to help the community and their natural environment.

The family members are Mirabel, the main protagonist of the story, her grandmother and matriarch of the Alma family, her parents, Julieta and Agustín, the sisters, Isabela and Luisa, as well as her uncles, Félix and Pepa, and her cousins Dolores, Camilo and Antonio. The mystery is brought to him by Bruno, Mirabel’s uncle that no one is allowed to talk about.

Byron Howard, the director, assured at a press conference that his film is a story about families, an adventure in which we can recognize that we do not always know what is happening in the lives of our loved ones.

The yellow butterflies, made famous by the Colombian Nobel laureate Gabriel García Márquez, open this story while in the mountains you can see the national tree of Colombia, the wax palm.

Among the pets of the Madrigal family we find endemic species such as the jaguar, the toucan, the macaw and, the movie’s favourite, the chigüiro, the largest rodent in the world and exclusive to Central and South America.

Otro legendario latino de Hollywood es el colombiano John Leguízamo, quien prestó su voz para el personaje de Bruno Madrigal, el misterioso tío de Maribel.

“COLOMBIA, MI ENCANTO”

El cantante colombiano Carlos Vives, ganador de 2 premios Grammys y 11 Latin Grammys, interpreta la canción original que se escucha en el trailer, una pieza que según él celebra la diversidad mágica de Colombia. Asimismo, Sebastián Yatra interpreta la canción “Dos oruguitas”.z

Cuando le llegó el guión, en 2016, le gustó tanto que decidió dar vida a Roman Roy, el personaje que le ha cambiado la vida.

Succession se ha convertido en una serie de culto desde su estreno en 2018. El creador de la serie, Jessy Armstrong, decidió contratarle cuando Culkin le envió tres escenas del guión a través de su agente. El personaje, para quienes no hayan visto la serie, es el hijo más joven de la familia, inmaduro y provocador.

La serie obtuvo siete premios Emmy el año pasado, entre ellos el de mejor serie de drama. Y ha conseguido que Kieran Culkin admita por fin que quiere ser actor. Así lo confesaba en una entrevista con The Hollywood Reporter, en la que dijo que al terminar de rodar la primera temporada de la serie supo que eso era lo que quería hacer con su vida.

ENGLISH with fame is difficult after seeing how it affected his brother Macaulay as a result of the movie Home Alone. From a young age he saw how people harassed him on the street and that affected his ability to even recognize himself as an actor.

The mental health of the two brothers was affected for years by his father, who did not achieve success as an actor and tried through his children, whom he treated with tyranny. For Kieran, although he shied away from fame, it was not easy because he was often mistaken for his brother.

His New York-born father had a brief career as a child actor and ended up taking a job as a church clerk. Despite this, he maintained his relationships with some people from the theater and every time there was a role for a child he tried to place one of his children.

SEVEN BROTHERS IN THE BULLSEYE

Kieran and Macaulay have five other siblings, all of whom grew up in a very small Manhattan apartment. Not all of them went to school and the four oldest did not even finish high school. Still, their mother insisted that they have the closest thing to a normal life.

But all of them went through show business to a greater or lesser extent.

Some even against their will, like Dakota Culin, who died in a traffic accident in 2008. The one who became a real star was Macaulay in 1990 with Home Alone, in which Kieran also appears as one of the children of the family.

Macaulay became the first child star to earn a million dollars for a role, which was not that of Home Alone, but that of My Girl, a film that he recorded a year later, in 1991. Thanks to that, the family was able to move into a house where each brother had his own room.

But the cross on the coin was the despotic attitude of Culkin’s father, who saw in his son Macaulay the success he failed to achieve. He started asking for more money for every movie his son made and wanted to get more and more involved in creative decisions. That was the beginning of the end. But thirty years later, both brothers have managed to free themselves from that trauma and enjoy their lives. z

La salud mental de los dos hermanos se vio afectada durante años por su padre, que no logró el éxito como actor y lo intentó a través de sus hijos, a quienes trató con tiranía. Para Kieran, aunque rehuyera la fama, no fue fácil porque muchas veces le confundían con su hermano.

Su padre, nacido en Nueva York, tuvo una breve carrera como actor infantil y acabó con un trabajo de sacristán en una iglesia. A pesar de ello, mantuvo sus relaciones con alguna gente del teatro y cada vez que había un papel para un niño intentaba colocar a alguno de sus hijos.

SALUD The best of Health, services and professionals

SIETE HERMANOS EN LA DIANA

Kieran y Macaulay tienen cinco hermanos más y todos crecieron en un apartamento muy pequeño de Manhattan. No todos iban al colegio y los cuatro mayores ni siquiera acabaron el instituto. Aún así, su madre se empeñó en que tuvieran lo más parecido a una vida normal.

Pero todos pasaron en mayor o menor medida por el mundo del espectáculo. Algunos, incluso en contra de su voluntad, como Dakota Culin, que falleció en un accidente de tráfico en 2008. Quien se convirtió en una verdadera estrella fue Macaulay en 1990 con Home Alone, en la que también aparece Kieran como uno de los hijos de la familia.

Macaulay se convirtió en la primera estrella infantil en ganar un millón de dólares por un papel, que no fue el de Home Alone, sino el de Mi Chica, película que grabó un año más tarde, en 1991. Gracias a eso, la familia pudo mudarse a una casa en la que cada hermano tuvo su habitación propia.

Pero la cruz de la moneda fue la actitud déspota del padre de los Culkin, que vio en su hijo Macaulay el éxito que él no logró alcanzar. Empezó a pedir más dinero por cada película que grababa su hijo y quería intervenir cada vez más en las decisiones creativas. Ese fue el principio del fin. Pero treinta años después, ambos hermanos han conseguido liberarse de ese trauma y disfrutar de sus vidas. z

While more representation is needed, some progress has been made in recent years.

According to a report from the Alliance for Board Diversity (ABD), Hispanic/Latino men gained 13 board seats in 2020, an increase of 7.7% from 2018. Meanwhile, Hispanic/Latina women gained 14 seats, an increase of 31.1% from 2018. z

La carrera de Gutiérrez se ha extendido por varios países y continentes, como América Latina, Canadá, Asia y Estados Unidos.

Forma parte de otros consejos, como el Foro de Boao para Asia, Occidental Petroleum Corporation, MetLife, el Consejo Asesor sobre Libertad Humana del Instituto

Bush, el Consejo Asesor de Tent Partnership for Refugees y TheDream.US. El nombramiento de Gutiérrez en la junta de Exelon es importante dada la falta de representación latina en las juntas, especialmente en las empresas Fortune 500.

Si bien sigue siendo necesaria más representación, se han logrado algunos avances en los últimos años.

Según un informe de Alliance for Board Diversity (ABD), los hombres hispanos/latinos obtuvieron 13 puestos en la junta en 2020, un aumento del 7,7% con respecto a 2018. Mientras tanto, las mujeres hispanas/latinas obtuvieron 14 puestos, un aumento del 31,1% con respecto a 2018. z

Meanwhile, in New York City, Eric Adams became the city’s second Black mayor, defeating Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa. He was also joined in making history in New York City by Alvin Bragg, who will be the first Black DA in Manhattan after his own triumph.

Adams retired from the police force as a captain after 22 years and entered politics in 2006, winning a seat as a New York state senator. In 2013, he took office as Brooklyn borough president, also becoming the first Black person to hold that position.

In his victory speech, he spoke about the significance of his win after growing up facing adversity.

“For a young man from South Jamaica, Queens who grew up with all the challenges that every New Yorker faces, tonight is not just a victory over adversity, it is a vindication of faith. It is proof that people of this city will love you if you love them,” Adams said.

Elsewhere, history was made in Pittsburgh by Ed Gainey, who was elected as the city’s first Black Mayor. Previously, Gainey was a member of the PA House of Representatives from District 24, and he defeated incumbent Mayor Bill Peduto in the city’s Democratic primaries in May. z

Mientras tanto, en la ciudad de Nueva York, Eric Adams se convirtió en el segundo alcalde negro de la ciudad, derrotando al candidato republicano Curtis Sliwa. Junto a él también hizo historia Alvin Bragg, quien será el primer fiscal de distrito negro de Manhattan.

Adams decidió retirarse como capitán de las fuerzas policiales después de 22 años y entró en política en 2006, ganando un escaño como senador del estado de Nueva York. En 2013, asumió el cargo de presidente del distrito de Brooklyn, convirtiéndose también en la primera persona negra en ocupar ese cargo.

En su discurso postelectoral habló sobre la importancia de su victoria después de haber crecido en un entorno de adversidad.

“Para un joven del sur de Jamaica, Queens, que creció enfrentándose a todos los desafíos con los que se encuentran todos los neoyorquinos, esta noche no es solo una victoria sobre la adversidad, es una reivindicación de fe. Es una prueba de que la gente de esta ciudad te amará si los amas ”, dijo Adams.

s we reflect on Al Dia’s past 25 years, it’s clear how far the Hispanic community has come. Today we are a formidable political and economic force that continues to grow in influence and impact. To get here we needed to find our voice as a community and for Hispanic leaders to pave the way.

Enter Al Dia and Hernan Guaracao. Like so many Hispanic Americans, Hernan started with a dream and an army of one. His courage, perseverance, and unrelenting conviction to serve as the voice of the community and as a leader and advocate have been an example for others to follow. My success and that of my company are but a small part of his legacy – and perhaps not so coincidentally, this year is also our 25th anniversary!

With the new census data just released reflecting the vast size of the Hispanic community, the next 25 years will be even more critical for our community to display true leadership across sectors, industries and regions. A strong Hispanic community means a strong country!

Now more than ever we need to be not only “sincere” about our leadership, but to be “serious” about challenging our community to ascend to the next level. Let us honor and be inspired by the first 25 years of progress and energized to expand our leadership in the next 25 years!

Entran AL DÍA y Hernán Guaracao, como tantos hispanoamericanos, Hernán comenzó con un sueño y un ejército de una sola persona. Su coraje, perseverancia y convicción implacable de convertirse a la vez en la voz y en uno de nuestros líderes, logró abrir un camino para que muchos otros lo sigan. Mi éxito y el de mi empresa son solo una pequeña parte de su legado, tal vez no sea coincidencia, ¡este año también es nuestro 25 aniversario!

Con los nuevos datos del censo recién publicados que reflejan el gran tamaño de la comunidad hispana, los próximos 25 años serán aún más críticos para que nuestra comunidad muestre un verdadero liderazgo en todos los sectores, industrias y regiones. ¡Una comunidad hispana fuerte significa un país fuerte!

Ahora más que nunca debemos ser no solo “sinceros” acerca de nuestro liderazgo, sino también ser “serios” en el desafío de nuestra comunidad para ascender al siguiente nivel. ¡Honremos e inspirémonos en estos primeros 25 años de progreso y energicémonos para expandir nuestro liderazgo en los próximos 25 años!

ON THE LUCKY SHORE THE UNITED STATES REGISTERS THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF ILLEGAL BORDER CROSSINGS WITH MEXICO THIS YEAR. ESTADOS UNIDOS REGISTRA ESTE AÑO EL MAYOR NÚMERO DE CRUCES ILEGALES DE FRONTERA CON MÉXICO. By | Por: BIANCA DE LA GARZA* | AL DÍA THOUGHT LEADER

I

n Mexico teenage girls are navigating dangerous cartel-controlled territories attempting to be free. I know, I’ve met them at the border in Roma, Texas. Recently I accompanied a pastor to the banks of the Rio Grande.

Standing there watching as smugglers were unloading rafts full of migrants. I saw families, toddlers, and babies. It takes just minutes to cross the river from the Mexico side to the U.S. side. This went on for hours. I spoke to girls as young as thirteen who crossed alone. A mother took to breastfeeding her newborn minutes after stepping onshore, telling me she’d spent seventeen days in a harrowing transit from Honduras. Knowing it was both dangerous and illegal still, the desire for freedom was too strong to deter her.

All were grateful for the water and protein bars handed out by the pastor, his wife and their volunteers. Praying with them, then explaining how he does not support their illegal crossing in his hometown as he escorts them to nearby Border Patrol Agents for processing.

Staring into the face of humanity that evening we all recognized one undeniable truth. Freedom does not make a person more superior, only more fortunate.

The U.S.this year saw the highest number of illegal crossings on record since 1960. 1.7 million migrants arrested in the last 12 months according to government numbers released in October.

147,000 were children without parents.

That’s the largest number since 2008, when authorities first started counting unaccompanied minors.

We left the river around three a.m.

The future for those women was uncertain. Mine was quite the opposite. I was certain I had to help somehow. Looking into the eyes of a child, smiling and dancing, no worries about where she’ll sleep that night or that her worldly possessions consist of just the clothes on her back will be forever seared into my memory. She

ENGLISH didn’t choose her situation. Nor did I. My grandparents moved to America legally when my dad was a child, changing the trajectory of their lives and mine. Being the daughter of a Mexican immigrant I was on the fortunate side of the river bank that night. Ladies I urge you, think about your role, your responsibility and what sheer geography has afforded you in life. As a journalist for many years I was a storyteller, giving a voice to those who had none. Along the border the stories are endless, complicated and with a bigger implication for humanity if not addressed.

America is not perfect. The media shows us the unjust, corrupt and broken parts of our system. Problems seem amplified when flashed through a television screen. But what I saw in Roma, Texas was completely unfiltered and it shook me. Is there a story you want to tell? A cause you can champion? Resist the urge to be complacent and complain. The freedom we have when wielded with purpose can enact change. I am working to spread the word of the Roma mission and raise money for the pastor’s humanitarian efforts. They receive zero state or federal funding because they assist migrants before processing. Yet the pastor is there the first moment children and teens step on our shores alone, vulnerable and often afraid. His kindness and compassion are their first impression of America. That is something we should be proud of. He won’t stop helping and it doesn’t look at least for now, they will stop coming.

The migrants I met at the border were complete strangers who I will probably never see again. Yet they’ve gripped my heart. They didn’t know that if my grandparents had never moved my life could be different. It didn’t matter. Standing along the river that night we were all just humans. I just had the luxury of leaving, back to my life of freedom.z (*) Latina award-winning journalist.

E

n México, las adolescentes recorren territorios peligrosos controlados por cárteles para intentar ser libres.

Lo sé de primera mano, las conocí en Roma, Texas, junto a la frontera. Hace poco acompañé a un pastor a orillas del Río Grande.

Estuvimos ahí de pie, observando cómo los contrabandistas desembarcaban de balsas a familias, niños pequeños y bebés. Se necesitan solo unos minutos para cruzar desde la orilla de México hasta la de Estados Unidos. La acción se prolongó durante horas. Hablé con niñas de trece años que habían cruzado solas. Una madre comenzó a amamantar a su bebé a los pocos minutos de pisar tierra, diciéndome que había pasado diecisiete días de angustia viajando desde Honduras. Sabía de antemano que el viaje era peligroso e ilegal, pero su deseo de libertad era demasiado fuerte para disuadirla.

Todos se mostraron agradecidos por el agua y las barritas de proteínas que repartían el pastor, su esposa y su equipo de voluntarios. Oraron con ellos y luego les explicaron que no apoyan la forma ilegal con la que han accedido al país y los escoltaron hasta el puesto de la Patrulla Fronteriza más cercano para que fueran procesados. Al contemplar de frente el verdadero rostro de la humanidad esa noche, todos admitimos una verdad innegable: la libertad no hace a una persona superior, solo más afortunada.

Estados Unidos registró este año el mayor número de cruces ilegales de frontera desde 1960: 1,7 millones de migrantes arrestados en los últimos 12 meses, según las cifras del gobierno publicadas en octubre. 147.000 eran niños sin sus padres, la cifra más alta desde 2008, cuando las autoridades empezaron a contar a los menores no acompañados.

Abandonamos el río alrededor de las tres de la mañana. El futuro de esas mujeres era incierto. El mío era todo lo contrario. Estaba convencida de que tenía que ayudar de alguna manera. Mirando a los ojos a una niña que sonreía y bailaba, sin preocuparse por dónde dormiría esa noche o de que sus únicas posesiones terrenales fueran la ropa que llevaba puesta, se quedaron grabadas en mi memoria. Ella no

había elegido su situación, ni yo tampoco.

Mis abuelos emigraron a Estados Unidos legalmente cuando mi papá era un niño, cambiando para siempre la trayectoria de sus vidas y la mía. Al ser la hija de un inmigrante mexicano, esa noche estaba en la orilla afortunada. Señoras, les insto, piensen en su rol, su responsabilidad y lo que una mera cuestión de geografía les ha ofrecido en la vida. Como periodista, durante muchos años di voz a quienes no la tenían. A lo largo de la frontera las historias son interminables, complicadas y con una mayor implicación para la humanidad si no se abordan.

Estados Unidos no es perfecto. Los medios de comunicación nos muestran las partes injustas, corruptas y rotas de nuestro sistema.

Los problemas parecen amplificarse cuando se muestran a través de una pantalla de televisión. Pero lo que vi en Roma, Texas, no tenía filtros y me conmovió. ¿Hay alguna historia que quieras contar? ¿Una causa que puedes defender? Resiste al impulso de ser complaciente y quéjate. La libertad que tenemos, cuando se ejerce con un propósito, puede generar cambios. Estoy trabajando para difundir la misión de Roma y recaudar dinero para la ayuda humanitaria del pastor. No reciben fondos estatales o federales porque ayudan a los migrantes antes de ser procesados. Sin embargo, el pastor está allí desde el primer momento en que los niños y adolescentes pisan nuestra orilla, solos, vulnerables y a menudo asustados. La bondad y compasión del pastor son su primera impresión de Estados Unidos. Y eso es algo de lo que podemos sentirnos orgullosos.

Porque él no dejará de ayudarlos, y ellos, al menos por ahora, no dejarán de venir.

Los migrantes que conocí en la frontera eran completos extraños a quienes probablemente nunca volveré a ver. Sin embargo, se apoderaron de mi corazón. No sabían que si mis abuelos no hubieran emigrado, mi vida sería diferente. Tampoco importaba. Parados junto al río esa noche, éramos solo un grupo de seres humanos. Con la única diferencia de que yo tuve el lujo de poder irme y regresar a mi vida de libertad.z (*) Periodista latina premiada.

PENSAMIENTO DE LÍDERES

TIME TO PUNISH BIG TECH’S IP THEFT

SMALL COMPANIES HAVE MANAGED TO WIN IN COURT AGAINST BIG BRANDS, WHICH HAVE AN ARMY OF LAWYERS. Start-ups and individual inventors need assurance that their hard-won IP can’t easily be stolen

O

wners of the Apple Watch might be walking around with stolen goods strapped to their wrist. In a complaint filed with the U.S. International Trade Commission this summer, medical device firm Masimo Corporation accuses Apple of stealing patented technology for measuring blood oxygen levels and incorporating that tech into the popular smartwatch.

Masimo’s claims aren’t far-fetched.

For tech behemoths like Apple and Google, appropriating intellectual property (IP) is an all-too-common strategy for maintaining market dominance.

Many of the victims of such theft are smaller operations or individuals without the resources to stand up to massive tech companies.

The public and shareholders need to hold these tech firms accountable.

Cracking down on Big Tech’s predatory IP violations is the only way to defend the rights of inventors and start-ups, while promoting market competition that benefits consumers.

Masimo’s suit against Apple is just one of several recent instances of alleged IP theft by the biggest players in the tech world. In August, a trade judge ruled that Google violated five different patents owned by speaker-maker Sonos. In 2019, a jury ruled that Apple had infringed three patents of its SanDiego-based supplier Qualcomm.

The principle guiding such behavior is obvious: If you can’t beat your smaller competitors, steal from them outright. Odds are, your victim won’t have the time or the money to defend their right in court. But if they do, Big Tech will be ready with an army of

ENGLISH top-tier lawyers.

Lately though, small companies have been calling their bluff -- and winning in court. With losses in the hundreds of millions, it’s hard to imagine how executives at these tech firms justify their decision to shareholders.

By denying inventors a chance to reach their potential, Google and Apple are suppressing the competition that would otherwise benefit consumers by driving down prices.

Major tech firms counter these accusations by claiming that IP protections are too stringent, and that the patent holders are the ones engaging in anti-competitive behavior.

Such arguments are at best a distraction. At worst, these arguments are meant to fool the courts. The ability of a patent holder to seek licensing fees from others who want to use the technology is one of the primary benefits of a patent -- and of a free market.

The real threat to competition comes from giant tech firms who refuse to honor the IP of smaller start-ups and individuals. Major technology companies must learn that infringement entails significant financial consequences.

Start-ups and individual inventors need assurance that their hard-won IP can’t easily be stolen by a deep-pocketed Apple or Google. Without such confidence, the incentive to innovate would evaporate.

An environment of strictly-enforced patents isn’t just important for a vibrant, competitive tech market -it’s a precondition. Big Tech’s assault on these essential protections has gone on for too long..z (*) Kristen Osenga is the Austin E.

LAS PEQUEÑAS EMPRESAS HAN CONSEGUIDO GANAR EN LOS TRIBUNALES A LAS GRANDES TECNOLÓGICAS, A PESAR DE CONTAR CON EL APOYO DE UN EJÉRCITO DE ABOGADOS. By | Por: KRISTEN OSENGA * | AL DÍA THOUGHT LEADER ESPAÑOL

P

uede que los propietarios de un Apple Watch estén paseándose con un artículo robado atado a su muñeca. En una denuncia presentada este verano ante la Comisión de Comercio Internacional de EE.UU, la empresa de dispositivos médicos Masimo Corporation acusó a Apple de haber robado tecnología patentada para medir los niveles de oxígeno en sangre y de haber incorporado esa tecnología en su popular reloj inteligente.

Las afirmaciones de Masimo no son descabelladas: para gigantes tecnológicos como Apple y Google, apropiarse de la propiedad intelectual (IP) es una estrategia común para mantener su dominio del mercado.

Muchas de las víctimas de este tipo de robos son empresas más pequeñas o particulares sin los recursos suficientes para hacer frente a los gigantes tecnológicos.

Consumidores y accionistas deberían exigir responsabilidades a estas empresas de tecnología. Tomar medidas enérgicas contra las violaciones depredadoras de la propiedad intelectual de las grandes tecnológicas es la única forma de defender los derechos de los inventores y las empresas emergentes, al tiempo que se promueve la competencia de mercado que tanto beneficia a los consumidores.

La demanda de Masimo contra Apple es uno más entre los numerosos casos abiertos recientemente por presunto robo de propiedad intelectual por parte de los principales gigantes de la tecnología. En agosto, un juez mercantil dictaminó que Google violó cinco patentes diferentes propiedad del fabricante de altavoces Sonos. En 2019, un jurado falló que Apple había infringido tres patentes de Qualcomm, su proveedor de San Diego.

La filosofía que guía este tipo de conducta es obvio: si no puedes vencer a tus competidores más pequeños, róbales directamente. Lo más probable es que tu víctima no tenga el tiempo o el dinero para defender sus derechos en los tribunales. Y si lo hacen, los gigantes tecnológicos contarán con un ejército de abogados de primer nivel a su disposición.

Sin embargo, últimamente las pequeñas empresas han empezado a ganar casos en los tribunales. Con pérdidas de cientos de millones, es difícil imaginar cómo los ejecutivos de estas empresas de tecnología justifican su decisión ante los accionistas.

Al negar a los inventores la oportunidad de alcanzar su potencial, Google y Apple están reprimiendo la competencia que de otro modo beneficiaría a los consumidores al bajar los precios.

Las principales empresas de tecnología contrarrestan estas acusaciones alegando que las protecciones de la propiedad intelectual son demasiado estrictas y que son los titulares de las patentes los que tienen un comportamiento anticompetitivo.

Tales argumentos son, en el mejor de los casos, una distracción. En el peor de los casos, estos argumentos están destinados a engañar a los tribunales. La capacidad del titular de una patente de solicitar derechos de licencia a otros que quieran utilizar la tecnología es uno de los principales beneficios de una patente, y de un mercado libre.

La verdadera amenaza a la competencia proviene de los gigantes tecnológicos, que se niegan a respetar la propiedad intelectual de las empresas emergentes más pequeñas, así como de emprendedores individuales. Las principales empresas de tecnología deben aprender que la infracción conlleva importantes consecuencias financieras.

Las empresas emergentes y los creadores individuales necesitan la seguridad de que su propiedad intelectual, ganada con enorme esfuerzo, no puede ser robada fácilmente por empresas con tanto dinero en los bolsillos como Apple o Google. Sin esta seguridad, la motivación por innovar podría evaporarse.

Un entorno en que las patentes son estrictamente respetadas no solo es importante para un mercado tecnológico vibrante y competitivo, sino que es una condición previa. El asalto de las grandes tecnológicas a este tipo de protecciones esenciales se ha prolongado durante demasiado tiempo.z (*) Kristen Osenga es Investigadora y Profesora de Derecho Austin E.

Money is not important, except when it is an unexpected endorsement from strangers of your personal efforts. This is how $25 dollars got AL DIA off the ground in year one.

I

was finally ready in the Summer of 1991 to start a business, equipped as I was with a computer, a laser printer, a home-made light box, and hanging from the wall my pompous Master Degree in Journalism from the University of Iowa — one of the best schools in the country but so far useless in my failed attempts to land a job in my profession.

But I couldn’t complain: I now had all the technology needed, perhaps all the knowledge needed, to produce a newspaper, and the powerful motivation that only people shutting the door on your face and turning you down can give.

I came downtown, figured out how to get a business license in Philadelphia City Hall, and eventually created a Pennsylvania corporation we called

ENGLISH “AL DIA Newspaper Inc.” in 1994.

What was needed next to finally start the enterprise was, not surprisingly, money. The darn money.

I am not talking about investment from angels, or loans from banks, or personal savings — all depleted by then — but the immediate money needed to print the first edition of AL DÍA. I had already inquired, and it would cost us $375 dollars for 1,000 copies.

No one earned a salary at the time from “AL DIA Newspaper Inc.,” and we didn’t pay rent either, as it was a home-based business. The only expense the corporation had was the printing bill Don Reed handed over to me with a gentle smile and the stern requirement that it needed to be paid in advance.

E

n el verano de 1991 yo estaba listo para empezar un negocio, equipado de un computador, una impresora láser y un “light box” hecho en casa. Y con un título universitario, colgando en la pared, de Maestría en Periodismo de la Universidad de Iowa, una de las mejores escuelas en el país que, sin embargo, hasta ese momento había sido perfectamente inútil para levantarme un trabajo en alguna parte en mi profesión.

Pero no podía quejarme: Tenía toda la tecnología necesaria, quizá todo el conocimiento que hacía falta para producir un periódico, y también la poderosa motivación que pueden al final darte las personas que cierran la puerta en tu cara al rechazarte por empleos.

Vine rápido al centro de la ciudad y en el City Hall de Filadelfia descubrí como obtener una licencia de negocios y eventualmente averigüé cómo crear, en 1994, una corpora-

ción en Pensilvania que llamaríamos “AL DIA Newspaper Inc.” Lo único que se necesitaba para finalmente empezar la empresa era, no sorpresivamente, dinero. El bendito dinero.

No estoy hablando del dinero de inversionistas, o de préstamos de los bancos, o de los ahorros personales —para entonces ya exhaustos—, sino del dinero inmediatamente necesario para imprimir la primera edición de AL DÍA, que ya habíamos averiguado costaría 375 dólares por mil copias.

Nadie para entonces ganaba un centavo en salarios de la corporación “AL DIA Newspaper Inc.” y tampoco teníamos que pagar renta, pues este era un negocio basado en la sala de mi casa.

El único gasto de la corporación era esa primera factura que Don Reed me dio con una sonrisa y con la aclaración de que debía pagarse anticipadamente.
