The Center for Latino and Latin American Studies (CLLAS) at Wayne State University celebrated the 44th anniversary of its founding as Latino en Marcha, and long history as Chicano-Boricua Studies, by honoring three women for their lifetime achievements. Cultural and education activists Marta Lagos, Gloria Rocha and WSU Professor Jorgelina Corbatta were formally recognized at the CLLAS Gala Dinner on Sept. 12 at the Student Center Building. The Gala initiated the university's celebration of National Hispanic Heritage Month, Sept. 15 to Oct. 15. Wayne State University President M. Roy Wilson announced that CLLAS has been transferred from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences to the Office of the Provost. He told the capacity crowd that the program was an important part of the diversity environment at Wayne State. A photo of President Wilson and First Lady Jacqueline Wilson is included.
