A keynote speaker at a student rally at Miami Dade College’s InterAmerican campus in Little Havana, Salcedo surprised many of his listeners when he revealed he was undocumented.
The Colombia-born Salcedo is no ordinary student. He is Student Government Association president at the InterAmerican campus, student representative on the Board of Trustees for Miami Dade College and a member of the school’s Honors College, one of 550 elite students.
