Latino Youth Could Decide the Nation's
Future
Over half of all Latino votes
cast in the 2008 presidential primaries came from Latino youth, and
the Latino youth vote could prove decisive in the November 4 General
Election. Our 2008 Midwest Hispanic Student Leadership Conference
(MHSLC) will celebrate the importance of the Latino youth vote, offer
leadership skills development workshops, and include exhibitors interested
in recruiting Latino youth.
Representatives of the campaigns
of Barack Obama and John McCain are expected to address the MHSLC on
September 27 in Chicago. Participants will be urged to make a
final push in the remaining days before the deadline to register more
students and non-students to vote, and help get-out-the-vote.
 Dr. Lorena Gonzalez, a strong
advocate for better schools, parental and family leadership, and greater
access to educational opportunities will be our keynote speaker. Dr. Juan Andrade will conduct a PowerPoint presentation on Latino demographics. A number of experts will conduct our leadership skills development workshops.
Latino youth could decide the
nation's future. Join hundreds of students representing over
100 colleges and universities at our annual Midwest Hispanic Student
Leadership Conference and learn why Latino youth are so important to
our nation's future.
