The University of Houston was recently selected to become headquarters of the Inter University Program for Latino Research for five years, starting in 2018. The IUPLR is a national consortium of 25 university-based Latino research centers with the overarching purpose of addressing the pressing issues that impact Latino communities.
On this edition of Houston Matters, we talk with Dr. Nicolas Kanellos, the program’s executive director, about the most pressing issues for Houston-area Latinos and what issues he wants to research through this consortium.

Pearland’s Teenage School Board Member
In the May election, teenager Mike Floyd won a seat on the Pearland ISD’s Board of Trustees. At the time, he was a senior about to graduate. So, before he graduated, he spent around three weeks as both a student and a school board member, simultaneously. We talk with Floyd about why he ran and what he hopes to accomplish in this role achieved at such a young age.
