The benefits are two-fold: students follow their passion in seeking promising careers in child development, and students help shape well-rounded, ready-for-kindergarten children. Students Advocate for Higher Ed in Sacramento Another example of outside-the-classroom engagement is when more than 50 students received hands-on experience in activism and lobbying as they Teresa Dreyfuss attended the annual “March in March” event. During this annual event at the EMMY-Winning Anchor Headlines State Capitol, community college students from across the state convene in Sacramento to rally for higher education and meet with state legislators.

    SECOND ANNUAL AMERICA’S FUTURE SUMMIT REIMAGINING OPPORTUNITY IN A CHANGING NATION AUGUST 16, 2016 LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA We would like to thank our sponsors for making this event possible Title Sponsor with additional support from We would also like to recognize the following for their generous support of the Aspen Institute Latinos and Society Program The Ricardo Salinas Foundation Woody and Gayle Hunt Family Foundation Bank of America Charitable Foundation Jane and Marc Nathanson A special thanks to the Ricardo Salinas Foundation Scholarship Fund for providing scholarships to ensure the participation of Latinos at this and other Aspen Institute events WELCOME Welcome to the Aspen Institute Latinos and Society second annual America’s Future Summit: Reimagining Opportunity in a Changing Nation. As the United States undergoes one of the most rapid demographic transformations in history, fueled in large part by the growth of Latinos born in the United States, the well-being of the nation is deeply intertwined with the ability of American Latinos to advance economically and to integrate fully and meaningfully into all sectors of society. The increasingly critical role that Latino Americans will play in our nation’s future means ensuring that Latinos have access to healthy communities, quality schools, good jobs, and safe environments, and that they can influence policies that facilitate positive contributions to society. While tangible progress has been made in many areas, more intentional collaboration is required between government, business, philanthropy and community based organizations for Latinos and other communities to realize the American Dream and to advance opportunity. Opportunity is an ideal deeply imbedded in the American values of equity, fairness and mobility.
