  • 3/25 Latinx Student Leadership Conference March 25

    The Puerto Rican / Latin American Cultural Center (PRLACC) invites Latinx faculty, staff, and students at UConn to participate in the 19th annual NASPA New England Latinx/a/o Student Leadership Conference.

    The goal of this conference is to help Latinx students network, strengthen their leadership skills, and prepare for post-graduation life.  The theme of this year’s conference is “Embracing the Vision,” and will focus on diversity, community, and self-empowerment. 

    The goals of this year’s conference are to:

    1. Increase advocacy and action within participant’s own local communities
    2. Acknowledge the intersectionality between various identities and their impact on society
    3. Recognize cultural wealth as a source of strength for individuals to gain a deeper understanding of oneself and the world around them

    This year’s conference will be held virtually on Friday, March 25th. Visit the UConn Conferences website for more information and to register. Please fill out this form if you would like to propose a workshop focused on developing leaders and professionals. Registration closes on March 25th at 9:00 AM, just before the conference starts. We hope to see you there and we ask that you encourage your students to take advantage of this opportunity!
