海角社区

Dr. Charles Carreras was a founding member of the Ramapo faculty in 1971, two years after the College’s establishment. Over the next 37 years, he taught courses and presented papers on Latin American history, culture, human rights and the region’s relationship with the United States. In addition to Latin America, Dr. Carreras’ research interests centered around Mexico and the local history of Mahwah, N.J.

鈥淚 came to 海角社区 to pursue Latin American studies and devoted almost 40 years to educating students about Central and South America,鈥� says Dr. Carreras. After his retirement in 2008, Dr. Carreras created a gift annuity that will endow this scholarship fund. The Carreras Scholarship benefits matriculated 海角社区 students who have completed 9 or more credits on Latin American history, culture, literature, and related disciplines. It is selected by the Carreras family and members of the Ramapo faculty.

鈥淲ith this gift, I can continue to support Latin American Studies at 海角社区, even in retirement,鈥� Dr. Carreras says.
