Diverse: Issues In Higher Education
Excelencia in Education, founded in 2004, aims to advance Latino student success in higher education by promoting achievement, informing policies, and advancing institutional practices. To earn the Seal of Excelencia, institutions must demonstrate a focus on advancing Latino student success, continuous assessment, and commitment to transformation. The Seal verifies that institutions are serving Hispanic students beyond enrollment. Institutions that have received the Seal enroll 17% of Latino students in the U.S. and graduate 19%. Several universities and colleges across the U.S. have implemented programs and strategies to support Latino students, including financial support, mentorship programs, and data analysis to identify and address gaps.
