Registration Fee: $345.00

Tuesday, March 20 ~ 3:00-4:30pm EDT

Institutions across the country have struggled to create initiatives that lead to increased completion rates for all students and more specifically for Hispanic students.

The purposeful partnerships with K-12 have led to a nine percent increase in college-going rates, twenty-seven percent increase in English Language Arts college readiness, and a twenty-six percent increase in mathematics college readiness over a five year period in a predominately Hispanic population.

Participants will receive information on key collaborative strategies for elementary, middle, and high schools. A major focus will be on the comprehensive dual enrollment program including dual enrollment academies, early college high schools, and dropout recovery programs.
