Hispanic Heritage Lecture Series Highlights Diversity In Conservation Jobs, Ashley Sarra

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

In the Arthur St. John Hill Auditorium in Barrows Hall on Oct. 6, 2016, a group of Hispanic employees working for the Natural Resources Conservation Services (NRCS) discussed their work throughout the state of Maine. This presentation, titled “Hispanics Helping People Help the Land Throughout Maine” was a part of the Hispanic Heritage Lecture Series for 2016.
