Latino Forum: “The Evolution of Nosotros”
Friday, Oct. 16, 9:30-1 p.m.; Keynote at 11 a.m., (High school registration at 9:30 a.m. and high school activities from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.) Perkins Student Center Auditorium
The 14th annual Latino Forum will feature keynote speaker Fran Rodríguez, who will present “The Evolution of Nosotros: An Intergenerational Conversation.” Many important decision-making tables have something in common: the absence of underrepresented voices. Beyond the benefits of DEI, convening generational groups ignites innovation and creative solutions. This session will disrupt the traditional keynote address and instead, welcome a whimsical community conversation of curiosity. This event is for high school students, their teachers, and the community. Pizza will be served for the attendees in the Perkins Multipurpose Room following the presentation. Advanced registration is required for the Latino Forum.
