HACU 7th International Conference -- May 3-5, 2007
HACU invites you to join us at our 7th International Conference to be held May 3-5, 2007 in historic Alcalá de Henares, Spain. The event is titled, "Hispanic Culture: Celebrating our Heritage," and will be hosted by the Universidad de Alcalá, one of the oldest and most prestigious institutions in Spain, honored with the designation of World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
 The conference will feature a stellar collection of speakers, like José Ignacio Goirigolzarri, the Chief Executive Officer of Banco Bilbao (pictured here) and José Jaime Rivera, president of the University of the Sacred Heart in Puerto Rico. There will be excellent opportunities to foster new partnerships and discuss unique international initiatives and programs. The program will be fully bilingual, with simultaneous interpretation provided during the entire event. We hope you to see you in Spain!
