Your information source on improving Latino educational success
By the year 2025, nearly one-quarter of the nation’s college-age population will be Latino. But not enough are earning college and university degrees. Accelerating Latino student success now–and for the next 15 years–is vital to our national interest. To ensure the high caliber of tomorrow’s workforce and civic leadership, Excelencia in Education links research, policy, and practice to inform policymakers and institutional leaders and promotes policies and practices that support higher educational achievement for Latino students and all students.
DEADLINE EXTENDED: The Examples of Excelencia initiative identifies and honors programs that are in the forefront of increasing achievement for Latino students in higher education. Learn more and make your nomination for our 2008 Examples of Excelencia by May 16, 2008. |
