Visiting Assistant Professor Ashley Hope Pérez and Political Science graduate student Yalidy Matos are leading the Latina/o Studies Program's collaboration with the community group 4L For Latinas/Femergy for the Spring 2015 term. This is our third season of working with 4L For Latinas/Femergy to host the Girls Heart Reading Club (previous seasons were Summer 2013, Spring 2014).  The program is open to all middle school girls. The group meets on campus for seven Saturdays in semester for one hour of reading and discussion on that semester's book, and one hour of enrichment activities. OSU clubs, student groups, and Departments have contributed to providing excellent enrichment activities in multiple fields.Visiting Assistant Professor Ashley Hope Pérez and Political Science graduate student Yalidy Matos are leading the Latina/o Studies Program's collaboration with the community group 4L For Latinas/Femergy for the Spring 2015 term.
