Patricia Mejia’s Post

Together we are stronger! With joy and so much pride, we are proud to present the 2024 Latino Leadership Fellow Cohort who will individually attend Center for Creative Leadership Leadership Development Program this year! A remarkable group of community leaders who are taking the lead in their CBOs and who have a vision for the Latino community. If you know one or perhaps take a moment and introduce yourself, reach out and ask about their CCL experiences and leadership goals this year! You will be inspired and impressed! Thanks to everyone who is making this possible! Especially our partners and friends at CCL!

We’re excited about the 2nd annual López Scholars Leadership Summit! This event is designed for our scholars to reflect on their first year at university and craft a leadership vision for their futures. They’ll join other university López Scholars to share their personal stories, identify their strengths and values, and network through interactive workshops and expert guest speakers. We can’t wait for this special and transformative time together!
