Engaging Latino Students for Transfer and College Completion

Engaging Latino Students for Transfer and College Completion, an initiative sponsored by The Kresge Foundation and Greater Texas Foundation, is a special project led by the National Survey of Student Engagement, the Center for Community College Student Engagement and Excelencia in Education.

The purpose of the project is to help institutions strengthen Latino student engagement, transfer and college completion. 22 colleges and universities with growing Latino student populations across the country were invited to conduct special analyses pertaining to the experiences of Latinos in community colleges and baccalaureate institutions that would: (1) deepen understanding within and between the community college and university sectors, regarding the assets and challenges Latino students bring with them to college; and (2) build awareness and consideration of factors that may inhibit or enhance student engagement, persistence, transfer and completion for Latino students.
