On Thursday, Oct. 14, the World Language, Library and English departments welcomed author and guest speaker, Jennifer De Leon.  She spoke with a large group of World Language students about the importance of recognizing Hispanic Heritage Month and the many influences Latinos and Hispanics have had on our country.  She also hosted a breakout group with our students of color and allies to discuss diversity and identity, and then held a create writing workshop for students looking to further their writing skills.  We thank the DEF and Nancy Bradley Foundation for sponsoring this event.
