The LAS Guest Speaker Program is a free initiative that brings an expert into your classroom virtually to engage students on matters concerning Latin America, its cultures, and its peoples.
Guest Speaker Request Form
Our LAS Guest Speaker program is closed over the summer and will restart in late August.
So that we can provide our free program to as many classrooms as possible across the nation, please only request one virtual visit per semester.
While we do our best, we cannot guarantee that all LAS Virtual Guest Speaker Program requests will be fulfilled; we rely on volunteers to make up the pool of available expert speakers and their availability is always subject to change. However, we will try to accommodate each request and maintain an open line of communication with our experts and volunteers if issues arise. Thank you for your understanding!
Possible Topics
Here is a list of sample topics, subject to speaker availability:
- Latinx culture and identities
- Conservation and development of the Amazon
- Food culture in Latin America
- Global and Latin American careers
- International logistics
- Latin American economies
- Marketing in Latin America
