On September 21st, the LIH Society and several Clemson organizations collaborated to host the 2022
Commission on Latino Affairs Symposium. Dr. Maria Elena Botazzi of Baylor College of Medicine
presented about her work creating vaccines for Neglected Tropical Diseases to a crowd of students,
faculty, and community members. Following Dr. Botazzi’s presentation, a panel of community health
leaders shared the successes and challenges they have experienced while promoting health in Latinx
families and communities during the pandemic. The Symposium concluded with a poster session covering
a wide range of topics led by Clemson student and faculty researchers. Thank you to everyone who made
the event a great success! For those who were unable to attend, please take advantage of the recordings of
