Anthony J. Abbate, Chair
Associate Provost and Professor
I am involved with Hispanic Unity of Florida because I support the mission to empower immigrants to be engaged, productive, and self-sufficient members of American society. I am aware of the opportunities and the challenges, my parents having been first and second-generation immigrants, of contributing meaningfully to the "melting pot" that makes this nation so attractive for achieving security and prosperity for individuals and families.
