Each
year Excelencia in
Education presents Examples of Excelencia,
the only national effort to identify and promote
evidence-based practices
accelerating Latino
student success. Through a national, data driven process,
programs in colleges, universities and community-based organizations are
reviewed and recognized in the following categories: associate, baccalaureate,
graduate, and community based organization.
This
year 139 total nominations from 27 states, DC and Puerto Rico were reviewed to
select finalists. From these
outstanding programs, a national selection committee chose four programs as the
2018 Examples of Excelencia
by each category. Elevating the goal of accelerating Latino student success to
national prominence, the announcement of the 2018 Examples of Excelencia was made on
October 11, 2018 at the Celebración
de Excelencia in Washington, DC.
