CSUSB staff and doctoral students visit Cuba for social communication symposium

A group of Cal State San Bernardino staff and doctoral students participated in the 16th International Symposium on Social Communication in Santiago de Cuba in late January.  The interdisciplinary event – hosted by The Centre for Applied Linguistics of the Santiago de Cuba, a Branch of the Ministry of Science, Technology and the Environment – focused on social communication processes from the points of view of linguistics, computational linguistics, medicine, mass media, and art, ethnology and folklore.  CSUSB participated in two panel presentations. One consisted of the planners of CSUSB’s Latino Education and Advocacy Days (LEAD), with the presentation “LEAD NetRoots Movement,” and the other was made up of CSUSB doctoral students, with the presentation “Doctor of Education Degree in Educational Leadership – A Community of Practice.” Both panels were moderated by Enrique G. Murillo, Jr., CSUSB professor of education, and founder and executive director of LEAD.
