6:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.
On Facebook Live
Graduate, Young Scholars, and Scholarship Recipients: Students and scholarship recipient names will still be announced via FB and our website.
Speaker: Students and families will have the opportunity to hear from Dr. Edmundo M. Aguilar as our keynote speaker for the 25th annual Hispanic Graduate & Young Scholar Recognition Ceremony.
Dr. Edmundo M. Aguilar is a former graduate of John R. Rogers High School in Spokane, Washington. Edmundo received his Ph.D. from Washington State University in Cultural Studies and Social Thought in Education. After a career as a Television Journalist, Edmundo returned to higher education where he received his Master's in Communication Studies with an emphasis in Culture at Eastern Washington University. His work centers on catalyzing systemic social change through documentary film, and other media forms, in which critically interrogates identity and oppressive experiences. He believes this practice serves as a pedagogical instrument to educate, inspire, and inform communities subjugated by systems of oppression. Edmundo's scholarship/activism creates an opportunity for healing, transformation, and positive social change by building bridges over physical and psychological borders.
