An estimated 300 educators in Pennsylvania heard presentations delivered by Carlos Ojeda, Jr., Ernesto Mejia, and Dr. Juan Andrade. The annual Migrant Education Program and English as a Second Language Conference was organized and sponsored by the PA Department of Education. The conference theme was "Education without Borders - Different Voices, One Dream."
The conference was organized and conducted under the leadership and direction of Ms. Carmen Medina, Chief of the Division of Student Services for the PA Department of Education.
Carlos Ojeda, Jr. and Ernesto Mejia are the co-founders of CoolSpeak LLC. and two of the most frequent collaborators with USHLI and our Student Leadership Series.
The primary goal of the Student Leadership Series is to ensure that every Latino family has a student that is one of the following: the 1st student to graduate high school; the 1st student to enroll in post-secondary education or training; the 1st student to graduate post-secondary education or training. The USHLI 2012 Student Leadership Series officially launched February 16th and consists of Stay-in-School Rallies for middle school and junior high students, Career & College Recruitment Fairs for high school students, Regional Leadership Summits for college students, and, whenever possible, Parent Leadership Training and Professional Development events.
