The Hispanic American Leadership Organization at Kansas State University would like to invite you to this unique event. The goal of the Encuentro is to provide an environment where students can learn about the unexpected challenges they may encounter during their collegiate years, and how others before have overcome those challenges and attained their educational goals. It is also an educational tool that assists in Latino student identity development.
Consuelo Castillo Kickbusch will provide the keynote address to our audience during the event in conjunction with the Hispanic Heritage Month. She has dedicated her life to empowering a new generation of leaders and has worked with over one million children and their parents across the United States through Educational Achievement Services, Inc. (EAS) , a human development company. In 1996, Consuelo Castillo Kickbusch retired from the military and dedicated her time to preparing Educational Achievement Services, Inc. and fulfilling her mission of preparing tomorrow’s leaders today. Because of her strong dedication to saving the youth of American living under similar circumstances as she did as a child, Consuelo continues to share her message with young people across the country and their parents.
Traditional musical entertainment will be provided by Mariachi Luna Y Sol out of Omaha, NE. This band will perform during lunch, and will play traditional Latino/Hispanic music.
