Description
If there's anyone who understands the importance of diversity it's Rita Moreno. The octogenarian has spent a career fighting racial stereotyping--thriving all the while. The Puerto Rican-born actress, dancer and singer is one of the few "EGOTs" (an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony winner). Moreno had a small part in "Singing In The Rain;" second, and the larger, an Oscar-winning role in "West Side Story." She will be the guest of honor and keynote speaker at San Jose State University’s first-ever Educational Opportunity Program Gala. The Educational Opportunity Program is designed to improve support for first-generation, low-income and educationally disadvantaged students.
