ZCC Speaker Series: Who Is My Neighbor? (with Juan Padilla)

Join us for a free speaking event on the topic Who Is My Neighbor? as part of the ZCC Speaker Series. August's speaker is Juan Padilla, an Indy transplant, born and raised in Barranquilla, Colombia, who now works as associate faculty at IUI and Ivy Tech Community College and manages a photography business. Our conversation will continue with Dr. Kwan Hui on September 22 and Dr. Anil Bajai on October 27. Who is your neighbor? In this globalized world, we are called to extend welcome and understanding to all. And there is no better way to promote empathy and goodwill than through person-to-person interaction. Our engaging, diverse speakers will discuss their cultural and spiritual background, why they immigrated to the United States, the assimilation issues they have encountered, and ideas about how to bridge cultural and societal divisions. learn more
