Excelencia in Education and its partners are coming together to remind Latino college graduates they are Greater Than Graduation. Their academic accomplishments will extend beyond their graduation - their education will last a lifetime.

During these challenging times, Excelencia remains committed to sharing research to highlight the opportunities for SERVING Latino students at the institutions where they enroll.

Excelencia’s analysis, based on the most recent federal data, shows continued growth in the numbers of Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) and Emerging HSIs, increased Latino enrollment in regions not normally known for Latino enrollment, and a growing number of HSIs with graduate-level program offerings.

To close the national equity gap in degree attainment, Latinos will need to earn 6.2 million more degrees by 2030. Excelencia will help reach this goal by:

• Working with institutions to raise Latinos' degree attainment
• Informing and influencing educators and decision makers to increase Latinos' degree attainment
• Advancing evidence-based practices that support the success of Latino and other students
