HACU held its 32nd Annual Conference in Atlanta, GA and this year a few of our students and staff members got the chance to experience this unique forum of information sharing and ideas for the best and most promising practices in the education of Hispanics. Please see the pictures above.
“The information that I learned can help benefit our students and our school in many ways. After returning from HACU, I now know that my degree can be used in companies that I never thought about, like the USDA, Ford, and the CIA among others. I came back from this trip with a whole new mindset about what my future plans will be. It helps you see that there are other possibilities.
HACU helped me make my future plans more concrete since I was still in doubt about what I wanted to do with my life. This could be a great opportunity for someone who is unsure about what career they want to pursue. Another important thing that students can learn from a trip like this is to know how important networking is. It is always a good idea to know many people in different aspects of your career in case you ever have questions or need anything like internships or work.
I met a few companies that I will reach out to in the hopes of landing an internship. Internships are crucial because you can get a feel for something that you will potentially do for the rest of your life so it is good to try it out in case you change your mind. When we take opportunities like these, there are bigger graduation numbers because we know exactly what it is that we want to do with our career and our future.”
