To the editor,

We are pleased and honored to have Sr. Norma Pimentel, MJ speaking on campus on Wednesday, February 19 at 7 PM in Kelly Commons.  Sr. Norma, a member of the Missionaries of Jesus, is the Executive Director of Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley.  She has worked at the Border with asylum seekers for over 12 years.

Free and open to the public.

Sincerely,

Lois Harr
