VOCES–Oral Histories and Spanish for Heritage Speakers
The VOCES program aims to build community among Spanish-speaking students, their families, staff, and the larger community in and around Purchase College.
Our voices matter! We matter!

We will learn and record family stories and document the history of Latinos in the area around Purchase.
We will produce video and audio recordings of these histories in English and Spanish.
These stories will be published via a digital archive for anyone to hear and through a textbook to help others learn Spanish. And public exhibitions will showcase our stories and who we are.
