WHITE COAT CREMONY HELD: The Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) School of Medicine hosted the White Coat Ceremony for the incoming Class of 2026. This is for first-year medical students who are beginning their 4-year medical school journey. They receive their first white coat and also recite their oath. Among the 180 students was future doctor Ricardo Isaiah Garcia of Plainview who was surrounded by his family as he received his white coat and is ready to work hard. The white coat is one of the most visible symbols of the health care profession. Many students dreams of putting on the white coat the day they are accepted into medical school.

leading Hispanic American figure in politics and education. A d e l i n a "Nina" OteroWarren's image will be stamped on a U.S. quarter, in recognition of her leadership in New Mexico's movement for women's right to vote, her pioneering role in politics and as the first female superintendent of the Santa Fe public schools. The quarter that will bear her image is set to roll out Aug. 15, as part of the U.S. Mint’s American Women Quarters Program, a fouryear program that started earlier in the year focusing on women's accomplishments and contributions to American history. The quarter's tails design includes Otero-Warren herself, as well as yucca flowers — New Mexico's state flowers — and the suffragist slogan in Spanish, "Voto para la mujer," which means "votes for women." Otero-Warren was born near
Los Lunas in 1881 in an influential New Mexico Hispanic family descended from Spanish settlers. A leader in the suffragist movement, she advocated for the state to ratify the 19th Amendment to legally grant women in the U.S. the right to vote. She became the first Latina to run for the U.S. Congress in 1921 as a nominee of the Republican Party; though she lost the election, she stayed politically active. Otero-Warren led the New Mexico chapter of the Congressional Union (later the National Woman's Party) and spearheaded the publishing of suffragist literature in both English and Spanish to reach a wider audience. Between the two world wars, she took on the role as superintendent of public schools in Santa Fe County, where she worked to improve conditions for rural Hispanic and Native American communities. She's recognized for fighting against federal demands to assimilate Hispanic and Indigenous New Mexicans, by methods which included banning their traditional languages and customs.
