HISPA, Hispanics Inspiring Students' Performance and Achievement, cordially invites you to their launch ceremony and NJ Program "Kick-Off" event.
Join professionals representing Employee Resource Groups, Professional and Alumni Networks to learn about the need within our communities for active role models and about the rewarding experiences waiting for you.
During this event professionals from many different industries and academia are invited to join our Role Model Bureau in support of the HISPA Role Model Program and the "Reaching Our Dreams" program from Save Latin America. These two programs will provide you with the opportunity to visit a local Middle School to share your story and serve as a role model during the 2008-09 school year. HISPA also invites you to join our online database by sharing your biography with emphasis in your educational and career experiences in order to offer a students a "window" to our stories.
