Veteran Panel Discussion: Latinos who Served: A conversation with UTSA’s Veteran Community
October 13, 2020 | 12 pm
Join us as we bring together Latinx veterans from the UTSA community; students, faculty, staff and alumni to discuss their time in the military, transitions, educational and professional journeys. Latinx veterans proudly served their country, but it is not always easy being from an underrepresented group in the military. Hear their stories.
