Purdue Latino Alumni Network: Virtual Thriving Together

Join the Purdue Latino Alumni Network <link to: https://www.purdueforlife.org/affinity-networks/purdue-latino-alumni-network/ > for a Virtual Event with fellow alumni and friends!

Begin the new year by prioritizing mental well-being and breaking the stigmas surrounding wellness in our culture. This empowering event brings awareness of mental health's vital role in our personal and professional lives. Together, we’ll explore how cultural understanding, and advocacy can support those in need and foster a stronger, more compassionate community.
