An estimated 100 students, faculty and administrators attended the Distinguished Speaker Series that featured USHLI President Dr. Juan Andrade.  The series was sponsored by the Diversity Resource Center at Colorado State University in Pueblo.  It was an honor to be invited to participate in this Distinguished Speaker Series and a great opportunity.



In his remarks Dr. Andrade focused on three points - dreamers in history, servant leadership, and motivation.  The event was part of USHLI's Student Leadership Series (SLS).

The SLS program focuses on Stay-in-School Rallies for middle school and high school students, Career & College Recruitment FairsRegional Leadership Summits for college students, Leadership Training for parents,and Professional Development for educators.
