Join the staff and students from the David M. Einhorn Center for Community Engagement for a conversation with Dr. Agustín Cano Menoni, professor, extensionist and researcher at the Universidad de la República de Uruguay.

Dr. Menoni is visiting Cornell so we can learn from and with one another about Extension systems in the United States and Latin American tradition. We're excited to discuss how universities should engage with the community; what are the roles of faculty, students and staff; and what possible lessons and collaborations can emerge from a South-North dialogue.

RSVP by emailing Amy Somchanhmavong at ayk3@cornell.edu.

Co-sponsored by the David M. Einhorn Center for Community Engagement, Polson Institute and Latin American and Caribbean Studies
