Lt. Gov. Diane Denish will deliver the keynote address at a symposium on the state’s juvenile justice system at New Mexico State University next month.
Denish will speak at 7 p.m. on April 15 at the J. Paul Taylor Symposium: Justice for Youth, according to a news release from NMSU.
She will address the state’s overall vision for the juvenile justice system and the challenges, obstacles and improvements needed in New Mexico.
The 5th annual event will be held from April 14-16 in the Corbett Center Ballrooms on campus. The symposium is dedicated to the many years of social justice work of Taylor, a former state representative and teacher.
The symposium was created as a mechanism to explore NMSU’s role in partnering with others to explore and address the social justice issues facing the larger community, state and region.
