Letter from the President
Dear participant,
On behalf of the SCOLAS’s executive board I want to thank you all for coming to our 59th annual SCOLAS conference in Albuquerque, NM. We are extremely glad you came. We hope that you had a personally and intellectually rewarding experience while building everlasting academic and professional relationships.As I kept repeating during the conference: “putting together an event like SCOLAS Conference takes not only hard work, teamwork and a whole lot of effort, but also (and just as important): kindness” Therefore, once again I would like to acknowledge and thank my colleagues Jaime Chávez, Mary Ayala, Jeana Paul- Ureña, Mario Morera, Geni Flores, for their relentless kindness.I hope you enjoyed the music, the poetry reading, and the keynote speaker’s stories.
Safe travels back home!
I hope to see you all in México next year. Muchas gracias, Jaime!
Muito obrigado! Grande abraço!
Paulo Dutra
President
