utmost capability. SACNAS Mourns Founding Member's Passing
SACNAS honors the memory of lifetime member Dr. Alonzo Atencio, who passed away on Thursday, January 14, 2010
in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Dr. Atencio was role model, an advocate, a mentor, and an icon for hundreds of Chicanos and
Native Americans in medical school and the sciences. As one of the original SACNAS founders, Dr. Atencio was responsible
for gathering the original SACNAS community in 1972. He will be greatly missed.> View full Obituary in the Albuquerque Journal Upcoming Deadlines
