Latinos need more bridges to success - in the southern suburbs of Chicago

The state of affairs for Latinos in the South Suburbs “is very desperate” and is at a critical crossroads in terms of education, health care and employment, experts speaking Thursday at a Governors State University forum said.

“Latinos are coming to (the South Suburbs) fast, but they have little or no support systems,” said Catalina Ramos-Hernandez, director of the GSU Latino Center for Excellence.

She was the moderator of an event called “The Impact of Education on Health and the Workforce in the Latino Community,” part of a slew of educational and informational events building up to Saturday’s inauguration ceremonies of GSU President Elaine Maimon.”*
