> Tecnologías de la Información. The symposium will be held in the UT

> Aponte, faculty and students from the University of Puerto Rico (UPR), 
> and faculty and administrators from a variety of disciplines across 
> UT. Jose Aponte's keynote will address components of intercultural 
> leadership, how leadership is changing in the Information Age and how 
> to nurture leadership among educators and students. The university 
> community is invited to attend Aponte's address on October 30 at 9:00 
> a.m. in the UT University Center Shiloh Room.
>
> The symposium will also include the participation of 50 UT 
> undergraduate students who will begin their work as co-creators by

> intercultural experiences. The university community is invited to 
> attend the plenary session preceding the undergraduate co-creation 
> sessions from 1-2 p.m. on October 31 in the Shiloh Room.
