Forty years ago, a group of trailblazing women gathered at OLLU for the very first Hispanas Unidas Conference. On Sept. 13-14, they will return to OLLU to celebrate their 40th anniversary reunion and conference. Titled, “Raising Our Voice – Alzando Nuerstra Voz,” the conference will honor and celebrate the women who planned the first conference and the vibrant leaders who have carried the torch forward.
“We are here to explore, discuss, and strategize on the pressing issues that continue to affect us, and to forge a path forward that ensures our voices are heard louder and clearer than ever before,” said the organizers.
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.
OLLU students, faculty and staff are invited to take part in the conference. To learn more or to register, please visit the conference website.
