Hispanic Heritage Month was created to celebrate the history, culture, achievements, and contributions of Hispanic people. In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, the Culverhouse College of Business is presenting a Hispanic Heritage Month DEI Speaker Series.
By attending the series, students gain the opportunity to listen, discover and interact with exceptional Hispanic alumni and friends that are shaping our businesses, communities, and world. Students will hear about how these leaders chose their career paths, overcame challenges, and reached their current levels of success. Furthermore, the speaker series will allow students to gain a greater appreciation for diversity in the world of business by highlighting Hispanic professionals in different industries.
The speaker series starts with Hernan Prado, the Chief Executive Officer at HOLA Latino and Finance Analyst at BBVA, a 2001 alumna.
