Milagros Mejias Arguello ’89

Mili died Jan. 7, 2014, just three days shy of her 47th birthday. 

She was born and raised in the Bronx. At Princeton, Mili majored in sociology and was a member of Mathey College, where she served as a minority-affairs adviser. She was also a member of Campus Club, secretary of Acción Puertorriqueña y Amigos, communications chair of the Chicano Caucus, student representative of the Latino Task Force, and vice president of Princeton Ballet Folklórico. 

After Princeton, Mili lengthened her impressive list of accomplishments, earning a master’s degree in education from Columbia University.  Next, she took a position at Trinity University in Texas, where she met the love of her life, Arthur Arguello. Mili and Arthur were married for 16 years at the time of her death. 

In addition to Arthur, Mili is survived by her parents, Ramon Otto and Gloria Mejias; her brother, George Mejias; and sister-in-law Denise Mejias. Our deepest condolences go out to her family and her many friends.
