The Department of Spanish and Portuguese is thrilled to announce that Professor Emeritus Arcadio Díaz-Quiñones has received the highest distinction from the University. He is now a doctor Honoris Causa from Princeton University.

The honorary degree was awarded by President Christopher L. Eisgruber during the Commencement ceremony on May 30, 2023, and is the most unequivocal recognition of Professor Díaz-Quiñones’s consistent and profound contributions to the University and to Puerto Rican and Latin American Culture.
