- Forty-four students have secured spots in the 18-seat class, while more than 100 others remain on a formal waiting list.
- Laguna crafted the syllabus around Bad Bunny’s 2025 album Nadie sabe lo que va a pasar mañana to trace Puerto Rican–New York cultural exchanges.

- Bad Bunny told Jimmy Fallon he finds the idea “loco,” would love to take the class and expects to earn top marks.
