Latinx/a/o Students: Initiatives & Support for Engagement, Persistence & Degree Completion – On-Demand Training
|
| Overview |
Despite Latinx/a/o students comprising more than 20 percent of traditional U.S. college students, they are completing college at public four-year institutions at a lower rate than their peers across the country. According to a 2019 Excelencia in Education report, the gap between the national (66%) and Latino student (57%) completion rate is 8 percent and the gap between Latino and White students (72%) is 15 percent.
Our expert presenter highlights strategies you can implement immediately to help your Latinx/a/o students succeed. Help them find their voice in your campus community, connect whether they are physically on-campus or learning remotely, and navigate unique dynamics to persist toward their degree.
Latinx/a/o students’ transition to college and persistence towards degree completion remains a high priority for institutions across the U.S. You’ll be able to help them achieve their academic and social goals by ensuring they know — and have access — to all of the available resources designed specifically for them.
Registration: $399*
