Open Workshop. The goal of the workshop is to prepare faculty and staff at Hispanic Serving Institutions for submission of successful proposals to the NSF HSI Initiative.

. . . As much as Dolores Huerta was Cesar’s right hand she could also be the greatest thorn in his side. The two were infamous for their blow out arguments an element that was a natural part of their working relationship. Dolores viewed this as a healthy and necessary part of the growth process of any worthwhile collaboration. While Dolores was busy breaking down one gender barrier after another, she was seemingly unaware of the tremendous impact she was having on, not only farm worker woman but also young women everywhere.
