Over 900 Students Attend Student Leadership Series event in Raleigh, NC

USHLI's Student Leadership Series (SLS) continued its spring campaign with a successful partnership event with the North Carolina Society of Hispanic Professionals in Raleigh, NC. USHLI co-sponsored the NCSHP's  Hispanic Educational Summit.  Now in its 15th year, the event included a motivational session, workshops on life skills, education planning, and career planning, and 36 exhibitors representing post-secondary institutions, community organizations, and branches of the military. 

The featured speaker was Andres Lara, The Cuban Guy, a nationally prominent motivational speaker and a favorite among high school and college students. USHLI is very grateful to Marco Zarate,  president and co-founder, for the opportunity to co-sponsor this outstanding program.
