Dig Deeper: Advising Black and Latino Students
Thursday, July 9th
2:00pm-4:00pm
Lubar S171
Presenters: Gary Cooper-Sperber, Gabriela Dorantes & Olivia Navarro
Historically in higher education, multicultural advising was seen as a necessity for underrepresented populations. The focus during that time was to increase access to higher education for racial and ethnic minorities. Although the student population we serve currently is more ethnically diverse, statistics still show that certain racial/ethnic groups are not performing as well nor graduating at the same rates as their white counterparts. This workshop will focus on what advising is for Black and Latino students, why advising centers for Black and Latino students are still important, and to provide tools to best assist you with advising Black and Latino students.
