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.

The summit topics are:
Higher Education Leadership; Faculty and Administration
