2018 Excelencia in Education "Latino-Student-Success

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.
