As we all try to regain some normalcy past COVID-19 related lockdowns, isolation and loss, engagement with and support for largely marginalized
urban communities has presented vast challenges. This dialogue will focus on the many roles of community-based programs, and the new challenges impacting community building and participation.

A cohort of panelists will reflect on the experiences, inadequacies, and successes of various community engagement initiatives as programs
reopened to the public.

The panel will be moderated by Tere Paniagua, Executive Director of the Office of Cultural Engagement for the Hispanic Community at Syracuse University.

Panelists will include:
Bea González, community organizer and former VP, Community Engagement at SU
Brice Nordquist, Dean’s Professor of Community Engagement at SU
Lizmarie Montemayor, Engaged Humanities Undergraduate Research Assistant
Elisa Morales, Executive Director of the Spanish Action League
Zakery Muñoz, PhD Candidate, Writing & Rhetoric
Zachary Pearson, MSW candidate, School of Social Work, SU
María Emma Ticio, Associate Professor and Chair, Spanish & Linguistics, SU
Fanny Villarreal, Executive Director, YWCA
