Congratulations to one of our chapter founders, Zhamyr “Sammy” Cueva ’93. Sammy will be awarded a Chancellor’s Citation during the Coming Back Together (CBT) African American and Latino alumni reunion this fall.

“Cueva turned what started as fraternity fundraisers at Syracuse University into a successful business. Today, that business, Sammy Cueva Entertainment Inc., has morphed into one of the most recognized event planning and networking companies in New York City. Having opened several New York City restaurants and related businesses, Cueva has become a leader in the restaurant industry. His Latin Fusion restaurant, Blend on the Water, has received major acknowledgments from People Magazine and Open Table, which listed Blend as one of the top 100 restaurants in the United States. In addition to owning businesses, Cueva continues to succeed in upper management in city government.
Cueva makes it a point to give back to his community by awarding scholarships, donating turkeys during the holidays or speaking to the youth who grew up in underprivileged neighborhoods similar to the one where he was raised. As a student at Syracuse, Cueva participated in SU Abroad and was one of the founding members of Lambda Upsilon Lambda. In his senior year, he was named to Who’s Who among Students. Cueva is a 1993 graduate of the College of Arts and Sciences and the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, and is the donor of the National Association of Latino Fraternal Organizations plaques honoring Latino fraternities and sororities in the Orange Grove on campus and also gives to the Latino Alumni Network of Syracuse University fund.”
