November 2, 2012--Los Angeles, CA---The USC Latino Alumni Association (LAA) has partnered with Dr. Yasmin Davidds, Dr. Betty Rengifo Uribe and Jamie Green to launch the USC Latino Alumni Association Transformational Leaders Initiative (TLI), a program designed to provide Latino Alumni Association student scholars with the tools, knowledge, access to opportunities and the role models necessary to become successful professionals.
