Latina Heritage Month! Celebrate with the CRL and CEC!

Simmons College is celebrating ‘Latina Heritage Month’, which runs from September 15 to October 15. Latinas have a lot to celebrate this year! For one thing, Sonia Sotomayor was sworn into the U.S. Supreme Court on August 08, making her the first Latina to serve in this position.
And in general, Latinas are becoming a force to be reckoned with. We see successful Latina entrepreneurs, humanitarians, CEO’s, business owners, and professionals in every field. The Career Resource Library would love to help the Latinas of Simmons College achieve their career dreams. Please check us out online or talk to the librarians.
In the meantime, here are a few things to look at: Career Resources for ALANA (African, Latina, Asian, Native American) Jobseekers Career Guide. This online guide provides many career resources especially tailored for job seekers of color. We’ve included many useful resources, job banks, internship programs, and associations.
In addition to our online collection, we also have books to choose from:
La vida rica : the Latina’s guide to success, by Yrma Rico, 2004.
The complete job search guide for Latinos, by Murray A. Mann.
Latino culture : a dynamic force in the changing American workplace, by Nilda Chong, 2005.
The Latino advantage in the workplace : use who you are to get where you want to be, by Mariela Dabbah, 2006.
Latino wisdom : our stories of wisdom, courage, inspiration, and success, by Cathy Areu, 2006.
And please stop in and see us at the Career Resource Library! We’re at One Palace Road, Room P304E. Also, feel free to call at 617.521.2515 or email at crl@simmons.edu to make an appointment.
