values and ethos.

Speakers include: Rosaida Morales Rosario, representing the Latino community; Rachnal Agrawal,
representing the Indian community; Rachel Sayet & Melissa Tantaquidgeon Zobel, mother and daughter
members of the Mohegan Tribe, representing the Native American community; and Rabbi Debra Cantor,
