Fresno State is one of 25 institutions nationwide partnering with Excelencia in Education — the nation’s premier authority in efforts accelerating Latino student success in higher education — to bring new analysis on Latino college completion and enrollment trends across the United States to the public.
The analysis, “Latino College Completion: United States 2023,” is the most comprehensive information available on Latino enrollment and graduation rates, as well as programs proven to work for Latinos at the institutional, national, and state levels. It shows that degree completion gaps between Latinos and White non-Hispanics have grown, and reaffirms that, in order to close these gaps, college completion among Latinos must accelerate so they earn 6.2 million more degrees by 2030.
Dr. Saúl Jiménez-Sandoval is part of Excelencia’s national Presidents for Latino Student Success network, comprising institutional leaders who have committed to making their institutions learning environments where Latino students thrive.
“As a university, we recognize the paramount importance of engaging, enrolling and supporting all our students, particularly the growing number of Latino students,” Jiménez-Sandoval said. “Our intentional efforts to educate and empower our current student population will ensure a vibrant driving force of tomorrow’s workforce and society.”
