LATINAS IN THE MEDIA

MARCH 26, WEDNESDAY, THOMAS HUNTER HALL Room #105, 6:30 PM

FABULOUS LATINA WOMEN IN MEDIA SHARE THEIR SUCCESS STORIES!

“LATINAS IN THE MEDIA’ is meant to provide students the opportunity to hear from and speak with Latina women who have gained success in the media industry and to celebrate their accomplishments not just as women and as members of the Latino community, but as professionals .It is essential at a time in history when our quality of life is so greatly affected by the media and when such a small percentage of the media is produced or controlled by minorities and/or females.

REFRESHMENTS AND SNACKS WILL BE PROVIDED. THIS EVENT IS FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.

Please forward to anyone in your networks who may be interested in attending. Thank you.
The Latino Honor Society has been in existence at Hunter College since 1990. Founded to recognize the efforts and achievements of Latino students at Hunter College, and to encourage their growth and development as they seek to further pursue their careers, LHS also functions as a network for Latino students. We work to help members gain information and create alliances within and outside of Hunter, while striving towards academic excellence.

CUNY PUERTO RICAN FACULTY RECRUITMENT PROJECT

The Forum, , , , , , ,

CUNY Logo

Dear Colleague:

The CUNY Puerto Rican Faculty Recruitment Project has been established
to help attract Puerto Rican/Latina(o) faculty to the City University of New York (CUNY) system. Its two primary activities include:

  • Conducting outreach and recruitment activities to attract outstanding candidates for faculty positions in all disciplines at CUNY; and
  • Working with CUNY colleges to connect highly qualified candidates with positions open within the CUNY system.

Attached please find some recently advertised positions at CUNY.
Interested persons should consult the job listings on the CUNY Web site at www.cuny.edu for further information and a complete listing of CUNY. Potential candidates should apply directly to positions as announced by CUNY, not to the Project.

However, the Project would appreciate knowing about any persons applying to or interested in CUNY to track our outreach and recruitment progress. For this purpose, CVs may be sent to the Project by e-mail to jmorin@hunter.cuny.edu.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

Prof. José Luis Morín
Interim Director
CUNY Puerto Rican Faculty Recruitment Project
