Duah-Agyeman, director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs and Syracuse University’s chief diversity officer. “This event is a wonderful opportunity for our young people to enjoy and express the richness of Latino cultures. I congratulate Bellevue Academy on teaming up with Syracuse in celebrating Latinos in Central New York.”
