Latinx/a/o Students: Initiatives & Support for Engagement, Persistence & Degree Completion – November 12, 2020
|
| Date & Time |
| Thursday, November 12, 2020 • 2:00 – 3:30 pm ET |
| 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.
Join us on November 12, 2020 as 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*

| Topics Covered |
| As a result of this webinar, you will be able to: |
-
Understand the intersecting identities of Latinx/a/o students — sexuality, gender, identity, citizenship, ability and their impact on their college experience — develop asset-based programs to support the multiple facets needed to foster a positive sense of self.
-
Recognize that there may be cultural context and family expectations that may impact students ability to be successful in a virtual learning environment — build a campus-wide support system and identify community resources to ensure your Latinx/a/o students are able to overcome potential barriers to ensure their academic and social success.
-
Recognize the campus dynamic within the Latinx/a/o community that further isolates students — encourage students to acknowledge and celebrate those differences so you can take a holistic approach to support their personal and academic growth.
-
Assess current needs, identify gaps and create opportunities to address Latinx/a/o students’ unique needs — provide critical support to your students to tailor meet their needs and foster a sense of community in new ways through a virtual environment.
-
Create programming that addresses the heightened awareness and coalition building with other marginalized communities — recognize your campus partners as allies in this work to maximize the impact and support you provide so you can successfully support, engage and partner in their academic degree completion.
