HACU President speaks at The Guadalajara International Book Fair

The Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities' President and CEO Antonio R. Flores spoke at FIL Pensamiento, part of the Guadalajara International Book Fair (FIL) on Dec. 3, 2024.

The session focused on the topic: "Estampas de la educación superior transnacional. Derribando barreras para la incorporación e inclusión educativa." The panel session was moderated by Gustavo Padilla Montes. Joining Flores on the panel was Julieta Olivia Muñoz Olmos, Dulce Vasquez, Enrique Ku Gonzalez, and Carlos Alberto Garrido de la Calleja.

The panel discussed the growth of the internationalization of higher education and barriers that hinder educational inclusion, such as immigration status and discontinuous educational path. Panelists discussed solutions that can achieve greater educational incorporation and inclusion.

The Guadalajara International Book Fair is the most important publishing gathering in Ibero-America. Created 38 years ago by the University of Guadalajara, the Fair is aimed at professionals and the general public alike. With business as one of its main goals, it is also a cultural festival in which literature plays a major role including a program where authors from all continents and languages participate, and a forum for the academic discussion of current major issues.
