Hispanas Unidas to hold 40th Anniversary Conference at OLLU

Students, faculty and staff are encouraged to participate in the upcoming Hispanas Unidas Conference which will take place on campus Sept. 13-14. Special pricing and scholarships are available.

Forty years ago, a group of trailblazing women gathered at OLLU for the very first Hispanas Unidas Conference. The 40th anniversary reunion and conference is titled, “Raising Our Voice – Alzando Nuerstra Voz.” It will honor and celebrate the women who planned the first conference and the vibrant leaders who have carried the torch forward.

Participants will have the opportunity to engage with thought leaders, policymakers, activists, and fellow community members through a series of insightful sessions, workshops, and panel discussions. From exploring the impact of policy on individual lives to celebrating the rich cultural contributions of Latinas in the arts and focusing on integrating self-care for balance in daily life, the conference promises to be a dynamic and enriching experience.
