Professional Meet-Up | Spotlight: Academia

An evening for Latino Professors to connect, collaborate y build community.

Calling all Latino Professors! Latinos of Montclair is launching our first-ever Professional Meet-Up series, and we're kicking things off with a spotlight on academia.

Whether you're tenured, adjunct, a fellow, a lecturer or a visiting professor, this evening is for you. Join fellow Latino academics from across North Jersey for an evening of conversation, connection and empowerment across campuses and disciplines.

Hosted by Latinos of Montclair with board member Matthew Marroquín, Rutgers University–Newark fellow and adjunct professor.

This is the start of a network of Latino academic voices who will help shape LoM's upcoming VOCES conversations, film screenings and community dialogues. Your expertise belongs in the community. Come be part of it.
