Migration and Migrants' Human Rights

Juan Carlos Mejia Guerrero will share the insights gained from a career dedicated to advocating for human rights. Guerrero is the owner and founder of the Center for Demography and Human Rights, a consulting firm that provides services for designing and managing social projects, research projects, outreach activities and online training to further women’s rights and human rights.

Social justice, public policy, and the pursuit of peace have been the leitmotifs of Guerrero's life. He has managed numerous social, humanitarian, economic and institutional-based projects as well as coordinated several programs for low-income families and first-generation college students in the Roanoke Valley and Covington/Alleghany area.

This is a National Hispanic Heritage Month event. It is sponsored by H.O.L.A., the Modern Languages Department and the Latin American & Caribbean Studies Concentration in collaboration with the President's Office.
