Latino/a/x Issues Conference POSTPONED

This event is postponed due to the University’s proactive response efforts to slow down the spread of the novel coronavirus. Thus, the Latino/a/x Issues Conference, which was planned to be held on March 25, 2020, will not be held on that date. We will be postponing the face-to-face conference until Fall 2020.
