Latinx Town Hall - Monday

Latino/as have notoriously been one of the most neglected and overlooked populations at the University of Maryland. Whether it be as one of the many underpaid and mistreated Latino/a workers or as a student who cannot major in the history of his/her people; there are very few Latino/a Terps who can say they are not disappointed in the lack of effort from the university to embrace and advance our community. The wide array of issues that must be discussed has led to Latino/a leaders finding it to be of utmost urgency to bring Latino/as and their allies together for a town hall meeting on Monday, April 27, 2016 at 6PM in the Prince George’s Room in Stamp Student Union. In this interactive town hall, we will have a panel including faculty, staff, community organizers and students. The panel will be followed by an open discussion with everyone in attendance.

To better understand which issues are most pressing to Latino/as on campus, we have created a survey that asks what issues are most important to you and therefore, should be focused on more heavily during the town hall. The survey can be accessed at: http://ter.ps/townhallsurv . The survey is completely ANONYMOUS and does not trace back your name, email, or any other information so please fill it out as truthfully and specifically as possible. The goal of this town hall is to analyze how far we have come on this campus, what issues must be addressed to move forward and how to come together to accomplish these new goals.
