On Monday September 22, 2014 Dr. Victor Sáenz and Dr. Luis Ponjuán joined a select group of individuals at Vice President Joe Biden and Dr. Biden’s home in Washington D.C. The dinner was in celebration of Hispanic Heritage month. It was an invite only event that convened some of the most important Latino leaders in the United States. The event culminated with a surprise visit from President Obama.
While in D.C., Dr. Sáenz and Dr. Ponjuán met with colleagues at The Education Trust, Excelencia in Education, and the American Council of Education. They also met with other state and national policy makers and educational leaders to discuss the work they are doing through Project MALES and the Texas Education Consortium for Males Students of Color. This is the third time this year that Dr. Sáenz and Dr. Ponjuán are invited to participate in the events and activities related to educational issues affecting Latino male students.
