Penn State Altoona hosted a panel discussion titled "The Science of Race" on Tuesday, September 24, 2019, in the Slep Student Center. The discussion was part of Penn State Altoona's 2019-2020 Common Read program, focusing on the book And It Begins Like This by LaTanya McQueen.
In the podcast episode, Costantino stresses the importance of knowing American and Latin American histories as our nation grapples with immigration and asylum issues on the U.S.-Mexico border and U.S. actions regarding Venezuela.
Through a unique division within Penn State University Police, students support police officers with various security and traffic control efforts while gaining important experience that prepares them for their career goals. Student auxiliary officers are employed by University Police at Penn State University Park and Altoona campuses.
Costantino, professor of Spanish and women's, gender, and sexuality studies at Penn State Altoona, will offer thoughts on health disparities in rural and Latina communities.
