Diversity Brown Bag Series starts Wednesday

This year’s Diversity Brown Bag Series will kick off with a presentation by Lupe Ramos-Montigny, chair of the West Michigan Cesar Chavez Celebration Committee, on Wednesday, September 26.

Ramos-Montigny’s presentation, “Making Latino Votes Count,” will begin at noon in room 2270 of the Kirkhof Center. Ramos-Montigny will discuss the importance of the Latino vote and why voter registration is an important step in mobilizing young people to be involved in the political process.
