Network momentum
From the desk of Frank Hernandez, Network President for 2010
As the new president of The Minnesota Network of Latinos in Higher Education (MNLHE), I am pleased to announce that the new executive committee has met and have set forth an ambitious agenda for this coming year. Our focus will be on supporting our members by improving three areas of the network. First, we are committed to improving the annual Summit of the network. Based on the feedback from the 2009 Summit attendees, we are already identifying ways to increase attendance, improve communication, double our institutional memberships, invite more state and national scholars to attend, and provide more time for regions to set goals based on their regional needs. Be sure to visit this Website and facebook page to learn which institution will be hosting the annual summit 2010!
The third annual summit of the Minnesota Network of Latinos in Higher Education
Scheduled for October 9th and 10th, 2009
Please mark your calendars!
One of the ways that the Minnesota Network of Latinos in Higher Education meets its mission: “support, promote and advocate for Latino success and advancement in higher education” is by providing opportunities for professional development, building state-wide networks among Latinos, discussing the most current research about Latinos in higher education, and by prioritizing the most pressing issues facing Latinos students, faculty, staff and administrators. Did you know that all of these things happen at our annual summit?
The year’s summit will include breakout sessions for students, staff, and faculty and an opportunity to connect with others at your institution or regional area. We will also have an exciting keynote speaker and engaging panel discussions.
SAVE THE DATE!!!!
In Loving Memory of Steve Casanova
The Minnesota Network of Latinos in Higher Education mourns the recent loss of Steve Casanova, professor of Ethnic Studies at St. Cloud State University. He passed away after being recently diagnosed with cancer.
Steve served on the board of MNLHE as the first Central Region representative between 2007 and 2008. He was one of the earliest supporters of MNLHE and his great work made the Central Region one of our most active chapters.
He was a role model for his students and a respected colleague among his peers. He will be missed immensely.
En paz descanse.
