NYU's Bern Dibner Library in Downtown Brooklyn serves the NYU Tandon community, which has strong Latinx representation throughout its student body, staff, and faculty. Get to know the history and future of Latinx STEM, find new social justice resources, and take a look at a groundbreaking archival project by a Tandon alum.
Check out the Latinx & Hispanic Heritage Month display case by the Dibner service desk, where we highlight relevant reads from our leisure collection

I hope that people can recognize the incredible art and history within the archives and that it inspires them to create, remix, transform and share these materials.
I hope that black and latinx students at NYU Tandon see this project and know that their legacy in this institution is eternal. They come out of NYU Tandon joining a hallowed group of engineers that have impacted the world through their research, reshaped industries and strengthed their communities.
