Congrats Alex! Alex is one of the most inspiring people that I have had the pleasure of meeting. He is the reason that I decided to go back to school and attain a graduate degree. Mr. Hines brings quality multicultural education to the masses and stays far away from the “food fun and festivities” (his term 🙂 ) that so many of our “Diversity and Cultural” experts engage in.
Winona State is lucky to have such a treasured member of the Diversity and Cultural Inclusion community! Keep up the good work!!
