Tuesday, October 10, 2024
12:30pm-1:30pm
Cimmarusti Science Center (CS) 177
FLEX Approved/CPGU Pending Approval

The purpose of the Latinx Student Panel will be to create a discussion about how students identify themselves according to their community or background and what that means to them. It is the hope of this panel that individuals will be able to learn about the variety of backgrounds and intersectionality among the Latinx community. While many individuals in the Latinx community have things in common, they also have differences that make them unique. The discussion is meant to create a relaxed environment for those present to share thoughts and experiences and to grow as individuals.

All Events and Activities are Free and Open to the Community. These programs are brought to you by Cultural Diversity and sponsored by Student Equity and Achievement.
