meet the needs of the Hispanic/Latinx community with greater impact,
cultural understanding, and sensitivity.



Entitled “Making Vital Connections: Understanding and Serving the
Hispanic/Latinx Community,” this inaugural event will feature two iSchool
faculty members, who will deliver keynote addresses followed by panel
