The Excelencia in Action (E-Action) network is a diverse group of college and university presidents and chancellors as well as program leaders across the country committed to joining a community of common cause and transforming their campuses to become learning environments where Latino, and all, students thrive. They are part of the Excelencia network and collaborate with Excelencia in Education to leverage collective expertise and resources, foster partnerships, and amplify current efforts at the national level.
