Blog Post: Coming to San Antonio! White House Initiative Community Forum

Juan Sepulveda, executive director of the White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for Hispanic Americans, in collaboration with UTSA President Dr. Ricardo Romo; Dr. Harriett Romo, Professor of Sociology and Director of Mexico Center, University of Texas San Antonio; and, Mayor Julian Castro, City of San Antonio, invites you to participate in a White House Initiative Community Forum at:

The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA)
Downtown Campus, Durango Building
 Southwest Room (DB 1.124)
501 W. Durango Blvd.
San Antonio, Texas 78207

Monday, July 13, 2009
12:30 pm to 2:30 pm

This forum is part of the White House Initiative’s “Community Conversations” series taking place nationwide.

This session will provide you with an opportunity to voice your thoughts in two areas:
1) how Latino education attainment can and should be improved; and
2) what the White House Initiative should be doing.
The information gleaned from these sessions will be recorded and/or collected and will serve as the foundation for the new presidential executive order that will govern the White House Initiative and will be signed by President Barack Obama.  KLRN will be on site to document the program.

PARKING ARRANGEMENTS:
There are two options for parking at the UTSA campus.  A map is enclosed for your convenience.  PAID parking is available on the second level of the parking garage (on IH-35) for $1.00 per hour.  The parking garage is located on the ace road off of Pecos La Trinidad.  FREE parking is available at UTSA lot D3 (underneath IH-35; entrance at the corner of El Paso and Pecos La Triniddad).

Please confirm your attendance with Ms. Elvira Jacquez of UTSA at 210-458-4009 or by e-mail at externalaffairs@utsa.edu.  For more information about the event, contact Ms. Glorimar Nosal, marketing-communications manager, White House Initiative, at 202-401-0078 or Glorimar.Nosal@ed.gov.
