Mural Honors Pioneering Latino Student Group | Tucson News

A bold new mural at the University of Arizona honors Los Universitarios, the pioneering 1955 Latino student group that built community, offered scholarships, and paved the way for diversity. Created by local artist Ruben Urrea Moreno after years of planning, the 18x11-foot piece blends history and symbolism—hands reaching across backgrounds—to inspire today’s students to find their people and create their own legacies. With alumni funding over $2 million in scholarships, this mural stands as a living tribute to trailblazers who transformed campus culture and opened doors for generations.
