VALPARAISO — Ivy Tech Community College students and Indiana University Bloomington students from the Latino Cultural Center (La Casa) will co-sponsor the 11th annual Indiana Latino Leadership Conference.
The one-day conference will be held February 27, 2010, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Ivy Tech’s Valparaiso Campus. This year’s theme is “A Call to Action: From Dreams to Realities.” This will be the 11th year IU has sponsored the conference, but it will be the first year for Ivy Tech to host the event.
