Hello Shannon,
I would like to delete my event as I realize this in not a "Networking" site per say like FB. How can I do that, there is no place to edit or delete an event. Thank you.

Eric, I like the site so far. I am guessing I use this like I use Facebook and Linked in?? Any other obvious items I have yet to discover. Again So Far So Good.

Thanks

The LatPro story

The seeds of LatPro were planted while I was enrolled in the University of South Carolina's top ranked Master of International Business Studies (MIBS) program. Every student in the program was required to speak a foreign language and complete a six-month internship abroad (in my case, for Avery Dennison in Santiago, Chile and Buenos Aires, Argentina).
