Joseph A. Unanue Latino Institute Vanguards

The Joseph A. Unanue Latino Institute is nationally known as a center of excellence for the Seton Hall Community and nation. The Vanguards of the Latino Institute contribute to this success through their service to our students. The Vanguards are individuals who have reached national or international fame for being history makers, barrier breakers or movers and shakers in their fields. These individuals have committed to supporting the work of the Institute by giving of their time in the form of mentorship and presence.

We welcome all Seton Hall University students to take part in these memorable, high impact, interactions. Interested? Contact Executive Director Lori Tarke for details and upcoming opportunities.
