"Yes We Can" Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month at Dowling College
OAKDALE, NY – In recognition of Hispanic Heritage Month, Dowling College's Center for Minority Teacher Development and Training will be celebrating Latinos in Education by hosting "Yes We Can" along with The Long Island Latino Teachers Association and the College's La Familia Club and International Club. This event will take place on Thursday, September 18, 2008 from 5:00 – 9:00 p.m. in the Fortunoff Hall Ballroom at the Rudolph Campus in Oakdale.

The belief of "Yes We Can" will be highlighted through the success stories. Our undergraduate and graduate students will also participate in the event through introduction of the speakers and entertainment. New York Regent Dr. Betty A.
