“A non-profit organization focused on developing the next generation of Hispanic leaders celebrated the success of awarding students with oratory awards as a result of Expo 2005, a national debate contest held at the University of Texas Nov. 4-5. The National Hispanic Institute honored high school sophomores such as Tim Tamez from Austin, TX and Stephanie Perez from Chicago, IL on Saturday night among more than sixteen other debate winners during the awards ceremony held in downtown Austin.
“NHI is actively cultivating the growth of future Hispanic leaders from among the crí¨me of the crop students nationwide. Expo 2005 engaged these students in a dialogue that challenges both broad societal assumptions, as well as their own expectations for themselves as Latinos,” said Ernesto Nieto, founder of NHI, adding, “The Expo debates introduced these students to new ways of thinking about the future for themselves and their communities in ways that perhaps no one previously had talked with them about.””
