Meet The Emerging Leaders Council
Walter Atencio
Advisor
He is the first in his family to attend college. His interest in Rutgers Law came from his discovery of Newark’s history. “Coming from a disadvantaged background, it immediately grabbed my attention when I was told about how the Newark uprisings led to the formation of a program that recognized the need to help out those like myself ‘make it’ in a field that was nowhere near as diverse as it is today.
Lazaro Valdes Fraga

Lazaro is currently attending Montclair State University majoring in Language Business and Culture with a concentration in Spanish and a minor in Psychology.
