Villanova
and the National Hispanic Institute formalize partnership
On Monday, Oct. 5, Ernesto Nieto, founder and chief
executive officer of the National Hispanic Institute, journeyed to Villanova
to join the Rev. Edmund J. Dobbin, O.S.A., University president, in signing
a formal agreement between the two institutions. The University is hosting
the NHI Northeast Leadership Center in the Center for Multicultural Affairs.
In his remarks, Father Dobbin spoke of Villanova’s own Latino links, most
notably St. Thomas of Villanova, patron of the University. He also singled
out the Augustinian Order’s own commitment to the education of Latino
students. For the past 25 years, NHI has been dedicated to developing
leaders in the U.S. Latino community by encouraging and mentoring high
performing Latinos students to achieve in high school and higher education. |
