Founded in 1972 Que Ondee Sola remains the oldest Latinx/a/o student magazine in the U.S. Que Ondee Sola was established on the idea of being an engaging publication that deals with issues on Puerto Ricans, Latinxs/as/os, our communities and patrias. We seek to be advocates for the resources and needs of our Latinx/a/o student body at NEIU and beyond.
Please note there is some inconsistency in the volume and issue numbering throughout.
