Additional Info:
This book offers college and university teachers a practical guide for meeting the challenges of educating the burgeoning population of Latino students. The contributors, a stellar group of experienced leaders in higher education, clearly show that the changes to higher education needed to ensure Latino student success will benefit all students.
In this book, the authors call for systemic change across the entire K-16 spectrum but put the focus on the challenges for higher education. The book outlines strategies for increasing access and retention, explores the role of professional associations in advocating change, and explains the importance of the contributions of Latino college graduates to the U.S economy. Latino Change Agents in Higher Education is a much-needed guide for higher education leaders no matter what type of campus or institution they represent. (From the Publisher)
