The Latino Law and
Public Policy Conference’s mission is threefold.
We seek to:
- Draw upon the wealth of
experience from our panelists active in law, politics, business, the
media, community development, higher education, and other fields
- Recognize the Latino
community’s tremendous diversity and contributions to U.S.
society
- Inspire the next generation
of Latino leaders by fostering continuous dialogue and networking
opportunities among fellow students, alumni, and professionals
