Luis Alberto Urrea to Speak on Campus

Luis Alberto Urrea will speak about his book, The Devil's Highway, at 7:00 pm, Tuesday, April 1, 2008, in the Texas Union Ballroom. The book was selected by Rhetoric and Writing as the 2007-08 First-Year Forum text, which all students in first-year writing courses read. It follows 26 men who, in May 2001, attempted to cross the Mexican border into the desert of southern Arizona, through the deadly region known as the Devil's Highway. Only twelve of the men survived.

This event is sponsored by Rhetoric and Writing, The University Co-op, and the SEC Distinguished Speakers Committee. Passes are available on the 4th floor of the Texas Union, at the Events and Info Desk, UNB 4.300, M-F, 8-5.
