Becoming Global Social Change Agents: Causes, Advocacy, and Impact Through Latinx Studies

Have you ever wanted to effect change for a cause and wondered how to do it effectively? Do you desire to support vulnerable populations and need the insight to take a first step?

Please join us for a conversation on the efficacy of Latinx Studies in creating these opportunities for you.

Dr. Roure will discuss pipeline programs and domestic and international volunteerism opportunities she directs, from access to law, graduate, or medical school to free surgical programs for the uninsured. Promoting diversity, inclusion, and social and policy change in a human rights context for underrepresented and underserved populations in all areas of study is vital to your global citizenship.

Let’s deliberate with Dr. Roure on how diversifying your lens can improve your career goals regardless of your current major.
