Gonzalez Convention Center. The conference, taking place October 28-31, will provide a powerful platform to promote the college and career needs of the country’s largest ethnic population, and will play a vital role in shaping the future of higher education policies and priorities.

At the country’s only Hispanic higher education conference participants will welcome the Honorable Michael O. Johanns, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture, as one of HACU’s 2006 award recipients. He will be accepting the Outstanding HACU Public Sector Partner Award on behalf of the USDA on Monday, October 30, at the Partnership Luncheon at 11:30 am. At the same event, Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison and Congressman Rubén E.
