Students creating brochure, DVD to reach Hispanic community - University of Southern Utah

“Craig Peterson, chair of the Cache Valley Regional Council and a professor of economics at USU, said the council was looking at ways to help the Hispanic community and thought a DVD and brochure for Latino families new to the valley would help them get settled and feel more comfortable. Petersen said some estimates put the number of Hispanic residents of the valley as high as 10 percent, or about 10,000 people.

Some of the things new arrivals need help with include finding medical and legal help, learning where to go to pay bills and have basic services set up for their homes, and learning how to set up a bank account.”
