The office of the Vice President for Student Affairs at the University of New Mexico hosts, “Unidos en Nuestra Lucha: Leaving a Legacy for Future Generations,” a Latino higher education national policy summit at UNM June 5-7.

The purpose of the summit is to bring together Hispanic/Latino leadership, educators, appointed and elected officials, student leadership and numerous other representatives from public and private sectors throughout the Southwest and other parts of the country to dialogue on selected critical issues that have a societal economic impact on Hispanic/Latino communities.

“Leadership will come together in the spirit of collaboration to reach consensus on recommendations to be translated into strategic policy statements that will be disseminated and presented for implementation nationally,” said Eliseo “Cheo” Torres, UNM vice president of Student Affairs.

The summit topics are:
Higher Education Leadership; Faculty and Administration
Crisis in Higher Education Achievement
Immigration Impact
Towards Math and Science Achievement

“If we are to realize a brighter future that reflects inclusion, educational, professional and economic success, it is our responsibility to continue such collaborative efforts,” Torres said.
