The Ohio State University Latinx Experience Webinar Series

During the last week of October, Latinx students, staff and faculty took center stage for a new three-part webinar series aimed at exploring how they study, work and teach.

Beginning with a student-focused webinar, the Latinx Experience explored the lives of the Hispanic-identifying population on campus at Ohio State. “The goal is to bring the Latinx community together to find new avenues for learning and growing that can help people navigate this uncertain year and beyond,” said Michael Bustamante, program coordinator for Latinx Student Success.
