Mente Summit

Let’s Collab. MENTE is calling out any Latino artist & designer to collaborate with us on a new T-Shirt design for our 2025 MENTE Summit. Spread the word to your students, friends, and community members. Reach out to David@mentesummit.org for any inquiry.

Kicking Summer off by gifting tix to Latinx male high school students! Come and celebrate Día del Padre with us. You can invite your padre or a friend. Enjoy some tacos while you watch the game. Lets have a good time! Tix limited while supplies last. RSVP today!

Coming up…

Ramadan Mubarak to all of Elmo's friends! Elmo loves you! ❤️

Today, our major proposal in Chicanx/Latinx Studies @Portland_State passed the Faculty Senate, one step closer to our campus offering the first Chicanx/Latinx Studies BA/BS in the state of OR! #ChicanxStudies

That day is now TODAY!!! 👀 Sin pena, apply!

1 in every 50 students in #HigherEd is undocumented. Yet, federal & state policies create barriers for them that make getting through college difficult. Check out @edtrust’s new report that dives deeper into this issue. So proud to share this report! ctt.ec/0Uk9U+

It is workshops like these that engage students. By connecting with cultural interests, and permitting the flow of creativity, you’ll find a more powerful lesson than the average curriculum.

Our Scholarship is due within 3 weeks!🫣

Registration is closing soon! Be sure to reach out if you need any assistance!

A lot of academics are all about "decolonization" (that is, Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion) in public until it comes down to peer reviews, tenure reviews, search committees where they privately become the gatekeepers who silence & exclude the voices they claim to amplify.

You can get our latest publication, "La Quinta Soledad," at a discount price, and check out all of Aztlan Libre Press' award-winning publications on our website at aztlanlibrepress.com. Tlazokamati/gracias for your support of Indigenous/Xicanx authors and independent presses.

This year Mente had the privilege of awarding a scholarship to 20 individual students. This is thanks in part to our sponsors and all those who volunteer to make this happen. Next year the Mente team is hoping to award more! #mentestory
