Faculty Chats
Fall 2024 Schedule
The Latino Cultural Center invites all Purdue University graduate students to Faculty Chats. Faculty Chats creates a setting where faculty members reflect on their academic journeys, particularly from a Latinx perspective. The conversation focuses on how Latinx scholars navigate academia, what strategies they use to achieve their professional goals, and how identity shapes their experiences. These discussions are essential for offering graduate students guidance, inspiration, and practical advice as they move forward in their own careers.
