Josue Negron

Son of Panamanian born Mireya Negron and Puerto Rican Ramon Negron, I was born in Bayonne, NJ, grew up in Santa Rita, Panama until the age of five, and now reside in Hampton, Ga. Currently a third year Computer Engineering major at Georgia Institute of Technology, I wish to utilize my knowledge and skills in this subject matter to empower Hispanics in the community to use innovative technologies to help better their lives and future just like it helped me succeed. My goal is to positively impact as many individuals as possible, to see them gain insight and demonstrate proficiency in their ability to utilize technologies available towards furthering their education. I want to demonstrate the importance of community to others. I personally value education, professionalism, and excellence and these characteristics cannot be achieved without the collaboration and cohesiveness present in community and brotherhood. Back when I was a senior in high school, I attended an event hosted by the Hispanic Recruitment Team (HRT) called Es.Tu.Dia. This program paired me up with Hermano David Sotto who showed me around campus and told me about his studies at Tech. He was not an Hermano at the time and I never really questioned it when I found out later. During my first year at Tech, I involved myself with several organizations on campus. I started to meet new people and noticed that Hermano Salvador and Hermano David were involved with many of the same organizations I took part of and held leadership positions. Soon thereafter, I started to attend some events to meet some more Hermanos, I soon realized these guys were pretty much where I saw myself in the future and share many of the same interest. From then on, I realized that I was going to take part of this organization to better assist my goals of helping others; doing so not alone but with brotherhood.
