Por el momento, la atención médica que recibimos es la misma para todos, pero imagine un future en donde la atención médica que recibe está personalizada a sus necesidades. Queremos hacer ese futuro posible al crear un recurso que le permita a los investigadores científicos realizar miles de estudios sobre la salud y las enfermedades.

Invitamos a todos los miembros de la comunidad a participar en una presentación virtual e interactiva para conocer más acerca de cómo el Programa Científico All of Us podría ayudar a cambiar el futuro de la salud. martes 23 de febrero, 2021 a las 6:00 de la tarde | Enlace de registro: http://bit.ly/2L79VVY

OLLAS Charla | "Encouraging Students of Color to Succeed in Higher Education"|
Thursday, February 18, 2021 | 6:00 PM | Zoom Registration: https://bit.ly/2Mw7H2T

The UNO’s Office of Latino/Latin American Studies (OLLAS) kicks off its first OLLAS Charla for the Spring 2021 semester on Thursday, February 18, 2021 at 6:00 PM, with Candice Castillo, Executive Director of Equity and Outreach for the Houston Independent School District and Omar Correa, OLLAS Faculty and UNO’s Associate Vice Chancellor of Enrollment Management who will moderate the event. As the Executive Director of Equity and Outreach, Ms. Castillo is responsible for districtwide oversight of Wraparound Services, family engagement strategies, student mentoring programs, parent center, and other special projects.

Her extensive experience engaging multicultural and cross-functional audiences and developing bilingual (English-Spanish) communications in various settings has fueled her passion for empowering communities and families to help their children succeed in school and in life. Come learn about how we can take steps to encourage our students of color to succeed in higher education and beyond!

This event was supported by the UNO’s Staff Advisory Council.

About the OLLAS Charla Series

The name of the series, Charla, means "chat" in English. Established in 2003, the series was created to engage the UNO and greater Omaha community in informed and informal conversations about Latino and Latin American related issues. Each event in the series is free and open to the public.
