Next month the Center for Hispanic Leadership(CHL) will be hosting its first annual Leadership Summit whose theme will focus on embracing innovation through diversity. I was fortunate to have been invited to participate in the summit which will take place September 18th in Los Angeles. CHL Founder and CEO, Glenn Llopis, was gracious enough to spend some time with me on this edition of the HTM Podcast to discuss his perspectives on leadership, diversity, innovation, and the upcoming summit. If you’re not familiar with his Glenn’s work, I’d encourage you to visit his website as well as the excellent work being done by the Center for Hispanic Leadership.
If you’re interested in participating in the leadership summit, Glenn was gracious enough to offer a discounted registration rate of $195 for HTM readers. You can contact me using my company site www.admentis.com or DM me via Twitter @MigueACorona .
I’ll be live blogging the summit so you can also follow along on Twitter using the #CHLSummit .
Welcome to part two of the HTM Podcast series, “HSI Career Centers: Learning from the Best.” Part two features the Career Center at Rio Hondo College, a two-year college in the heart of East Los Angeles. I’m joined by Belen Torres-Gil, a career center professional with over 22 years of experience working with Hispanic college students. Belen provides unique insights to a 2-Year HSI college career center as well as working with Hispanic students in an urban community.
This HTM Podcast Series continues to take an in-depth look at how career centers at Hispanic Serving Institutions work to support the needs of Hispanic college students as well as employers. If you missed part one of the series featuring The University of Texas at El Paso Career Center, you can find it here.
Welcome to part one of the HTM Podcast series, “HSI Career Centers: Learning from the Best.” This series will take an in-depth look at what career centers at Hispanic Serving Institutions are doing to provide career guidance and support for Hispanic college students. Part one of the series features the Career Center at The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP), one of the largest 4 year HSIs in the United States. UTEP’s Career Center is doing some inventive things to meet the needs of students and employers including an innovative Student Peer Program. I’m joined by Betsy Castro-Duarte, a career center professional with over 13 years of experience working with Hispanic college students and 17 years of experience in higher education. Enjoy!
Next week HTM will be starting a podcast series focusing on career centers at Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs). Colleges and universities are designated as HSI schools if at least 25 percent of full-time students are Latinos. Currently there are 265 colleges designated as HSIs with another 176 institutions designated as “emerging” HSIs (institutions falling just below the 25 percent threshold). Over the next month or so, I’ll be interviewing career center professionals from these colleges to discuss their experiences, perspectives, and suggestions in working with Hispanic college students. We’ll also discuss what strategies and initiatives successful employers have implemented to successfully attaract and recruit Hispanic college graduates. Since many HSIs are beginning to emerg throughout the United States, the podcast series will also gain insight to each college’s unique viewpoint based on its size, region, and location. Given the important role HSIs play in educating Hispanic college students, I hope the series will provide both employers and career centers with some insightful information. Stay tuned!
Jason Riveiro is a leader of the new Hispanic generation. Originally from Houston, Texas, Jason arrived to Cincinnati six years ago and quickly filled a leadership vacuum in regards to Hispanic rights and issues in the Tristate area (Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana). In a very short time, Jason has established himself as an advocate for the rights and issues that impact Hispanics in this region. As the State Director for the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) in Ohio, Jason led the way to bringing next year’s LULAC national convention to Cincinnati. In this edition of HTM Podcast, Jason discusses his efforts with LULAC as well as shares his perspective about the Hispanic workforce.
I was recently on the Northern Kentucky University campus to spend time with the Office of Latino Student Affairs. As a reminder, they’re hosting the first annual Educating Latinos for Kentucky’s Future (ELKF) Conference this Thursday and Friday at the NKU campus. I’ll be there sharing some tweets and blog posts during the event.
I also had the good fortune of meeting a bright and very energetic student by the name of Gabriela, and she just happens to work for the Latino student office. Like many Hispanic students in college, Gabriela is a dedicated student, actively involved on campus, and works a couple of jobs; however, this doesn’t diminish her energy or vision for the future. She was kind enough to spend some time with me to discuss her perspectives as a Latina college student in this installment of the HTM Podcast. Gabriela’s insights are very telling. She illustrates why the Hispanic college student experience is so unique and why Hispanics can bring so many experiences and skills to any organization. I hope to invite other Hispanic students as talented as Gabriela to future HTM Podcasts. Enjoy!
This opening installment of the HTM Podcast focuses on Latina Leadership, an important topic when you consider Latina leaders are starting to make great strides in the business world. The HTM Podcast has been in the works for some time, so I’m excited to get it started with a wonderful guest, Aurelia Flores, Founder of PowerfulLatinas.com. Aurelia founded PowerfulLatinas.com in 2007 as a company that gathers together Latina women to learn from and share with one another. After becoming pregnant at age 15, she graduated from high school a year early and went immediately to college where she received her B.A. in Sociology. She received her law degree from Stanford Law School and then was awarded a post-graduate Fulbright Fellowship to study in Mexico City. Aurelia has been practicing corporate law for over ten years and specializes in intellectual property. Aurelia also volunteers for various non-profit organizations. Aurelia, her story and PowerfulLatinas.com have been featured on TV, radio, and in print publications, including the recently published book, “Aim High: Extraordinary Stories of Hispanic and Latina Women.” She is a proud mother and her son now attends Georgetown University. Enjoy!
