Latino Conference Thursday and Friday in Laramie – University of Wyoming

“Meeting the needs of Wyoming’s Latino students is the focus of a free public conference Thursday and Friday in Laramie.

Nationally- and regionally-known presenters will share research and lessons learned from the field during “Latinos in the Diaspora: Education in Rural Settings.” Leonard Valverde, executive director of Arizona State University’s Hispanic Border Leadership Institute, is the conference’s keynote speaker.

“The speakers’ insights will provide a foundation for a more focused discussion on the issues facing Wyoming students and educators,” says Francisco Rios, University of Wyoming professor of educational studies. “The primary focus really is what is going on here in the state of Wyoming — how can we better serve these student populations.” “
