On the cover: Edith Fernández (PhD ’06) at the U-M School of Education Commencement Exercises in 2006. Her colorful scarf was sewn by her mother who cut the material from a serape. Fernández said, “I and other Chicanos wear the serape as symbol of our culture and it serves as a reminder of our humble roots. The stole in the picture has been worn by my brother and my husband at their own graduations. I also wore the stole at my Harvard and University of Nevada-Las Vegas graduations.” Photo by: Mike Gould
