Is there a disconnect between Hispanic international students and Hispanic-American?

As I near the end of my college journey, I grapple with the realization that I never truly connected with the Hispanic community at Emerson.

However, being Hispanic doesn’t automatically bridge the gap between Hispanic-Americans and international Hispanic students.
