The Lewis Center of the Americas, in collaboration with the Ettling Center and the College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences, is pleased to announce our forthcoming UIW system-wide symposium, scheduled for October 7th, 8th, and 10th, as part of UIW’s Hispanic Heritage Month celebration. The symposium will be to shed light on UIW courses, research, community service or campus life events that have helped our UIW community, and particularly our students, to explore and celebrate our Hispanic heritage. We will also actively explore and celebrate our Hispanic heritage during the symposium itself.

All presentations will be live-streamed across all campuses, but there will also be designated physical locations in San Antonio, Mexico City and Irapuato, where participants can go to hear sessions in a live group setting. The designated location in San Antonio will be the Mabee Library Auditorium. Furthermore, as a special highlight of the symposium, we will deliver a TEDx Talk, coordinated by the College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences, and broadcast to a much wider international audience.

Schedule

  • Monday, Oct. 7, 12:00-1:15 p.m. and 1:30-2:45 p.m. CST
  • Tuesday, Oct. 8, 12:00-1:15 and 1:30-2:45 p.m. CST
  • Thursday, Oct. 10, 12:00-1:15 and 1:30-2:45 p.m. CST

Between sessions on October 7th, 8th, and tenth, you can immerse yourself in our engaging tabling experiences in the library atrium. These interactive displays will offer additional opportunities to connect, discover, and be inspired by the vibrant Hispanic culture.

Best of all, attendance is free and voluntary! Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of an event that celebrates our shared heritage and fosters a deeper understanding and appreciation of the contributions of the Hispanic community. Sign up today and join us for an unforgettable experience!
