Chicago's New
Generation of Latino Leaders: The Difference
Makers
It is to Latino Chicago that businesses,
neighborhoods, universities and government are now
looking for leadership. Chicago's growing Latino
community is shaping our city's economy and its
quality of life. A new, highly educated generation of
Latino men and women are moving in ever greater
numbers from the classroom to the corporate board
room-leading our largest multi-national
corporations, using their entrepreneurial talents to
build the Fortune 500 companies of the future and
advocating for change in their children's schools and
their parents' neighborhoods.
And it is to
National-Louis University (NLU)
that this new generation of Latino leaders is looking
for the education they need to become difference
makers-men and women who dream big and who
do no small things.
Since its founding in 1886,
NLU has been a university
committed to access, excellence and innovation. Men
and women, often the first in their families to get a
college education, have been coming to NLU to get a
degree-and come out transformed. They go back to
their jobs with knowledge they can put to work
immediately. They become advocates for better
schools and safer neighborhoods. They make their
families proud and their communities better places to
live.
Listen to what Chicago's next generation of Latino
leaders has to say about the power of education.
Join the
Conversation and find out why NLU is becoming
the university of choice for Chicago's next generation
of Latino difference makers.
