Latino Student Success: Fresh Thinking, New Strategies
Proven Approaches for Working with Latinos
Latinos are the fastest growing population in the U.S. Their presence is a valued addition to our college campuses, and you want to do all you can to help them succeed.
However, recruitment and retention of this population has been a significant and complex challenge. Numerous strategies and costly programs to increase Latino student success have been tried for many years, often with mixed results and low return on investment.
You need proven strategies to better support Latino students on your campus.
In Latino Student Success: Fresh Thinking, New Strategies, you learn proven approaches for working with this key population that are successful and financially responsible. You’ll get practical ideas from the experience of Denise Swett, acting vice president of student development and instruction and associate vice president of Middlefield Campus and Community Programs at Foothill College, and Alexandra Duran, president elect of the Association of Mexican American Educators of Silicon Valley and manager of the Middlefield Campus Career and College Connections Office, both experts with a proven track record of working effectively with Latino students.
You’ll learn:
- How to identify barriers to Latino student success on your campus
