Juan P. Cisneros died on September 11, 2001, in New York City. A 24-year-old Guatemala native, Juan came to Dartmouth from Orange Glen High School in Escondido, California. At Dartmouth he majored in government and was heavily involved in Chi Gamma Epsilon. Juan mentored two Central-American children as part of the Big Brother/Big Sister program and led a DOC trip for the class of 2002. An avid reader, Juan was active in the Older and Wiser Program, a program that pairs incoming first year students with upperclassmen, and was a member of the Ledyard Canoe Club. Following graduation Juan became a trader for financial services firm Cantor Fitzgerald in order to gain experience and pay off student loans, although his real ambition was to become a physician or a politician. He is survived by his parents, Alfonso and Lidia, and younger sister Ana.
