Yuri is a sophomore in the Krannert School of Management. She learned about ALPFA after receiving their scholarship in 2006, and ever since has been working to make it's presence known at Purdue. Yuri has also been involved with the Latino Cultural Center's Embajadores, Purdue Student Government, and Sigma Lambda Gamma National Sorority Inc. Her goals include continuing her education and working with a non-profit organization.

Through ALPFA she hopes to increase awareness of the importance of internships, networking, and overall profesionalism at the Purdue Campus.

Abelardo is a senior from Hermiston, OR in Aviation Flight Technology with minors in Spanish and Organizational Leadership and Supervision. He became part of ALPFA after being approached by his friend Yuri who seemed to have the passion and desire to start this professional organization at Purdue. Abelardo is also actively involved with the Latino Cultural Center's Embajadores as well as the American Cancer Society’s Colleges Against Cancer and is currently employed by Purdue University’s flight department. His ultimate goal is to one day become a senior captain with one of the world’s largest airlines flying all over the world and becoming a role model for young Latinos going through similar struggles he himself has had to endure.  Through ALPFA he hopes to showcase the importance of professionalism and networking among his members and the Purdue student community.
