Excelencia in Education, an advocacy organization for Latino students, announced Friday that 15 higher ed institutions earned its “Seal of Excelencia,” a three-year certification given to colleges and universities that have proven they’re advancing Latino student success.
This is the fourth year the organization has offered this designation. Institutions receive the Seal of Excelencia for demonstrating academic progress for Latino students in their data, dedication to creating a supportive environment for Latino students, the use of evidence-based practices to serve these students and an intentional focus on Latino student success among campus leaders.
