September 15 through October 15 marks Hispanic Heritage Month. Adolfo Varona, M.D., was the College’s first Hispanic faculty member, who taught histology at NYMC in the 1870s and actively participated in Cuba’s fight for independence from Spain—as did Francisco Felix Mendoza, M.D., Class of 1876, the College’s first Hispanic graduate. Dr. Mendoza, who also hailed from Cuba, went on to serve as one of the first consular staff for the newly independent Republic of Cuba in 1902, while continuing to practice medicine in Tampa, Florida.
