Boricua College

[1] The college was founded by a group of educators and community organizers, including Antonia Pantoja, Victor G. Alicea, Mildred Rodriguez, Francisco G. Ortiz, and Héctor A.

The school employs a largely bilingual faculty and staff of 130 full-time and 100 part-time members.

The model emphasizes the importance of critical thinking skills and clarification of values and increasing students' capacity for self-reflection.

In January 2000 President Bill Clinton visited the Brooklyn campus at its Graham Avenue learning center to inaugurate a Small Business Association at the college.
