It strives to increase understanding in the ACC and Central Texas communities of the culture, history and contributions of Latinos. Additionally, Dr. Diaz-Miranda teaches courses on both United States and Mexican American History.
Our mentors had the opportunity to hear Dr. Diaz-Miranda speak on his academic and professional trajectories and the impact mentoring had on him. Dr. Diaz-Miranda provided our students with an inspirational talk that encouraged our students to pursue their personal, academic, and professional goals. Thanks for joining us Dr. Diaz-Miranda.
