Latino College Completion

In September 2010, IHEP partnered with Excelencia in Education for its national initiative, Ensuring America's Future by Increasing Latino College Completion. The human capital campaign is a collaborative effort—with initial support from 49 other national higher education organizations—focusing on increasing Latino college completion in an effort to help reach our national college completion goals now through 2025.

Excelencia in Education—the organization leading this effort—along with IHEP and the other campaign supporters have committed to:

• Intentionality in serving Latino students;
  
• Delineation of degree completion goals and measures of progress;
  
• Commitment to practices and policies that produce positive results; and,
  
• Clarity about the federal, state, and institutional policy environments that affect Latino student success.

To further the campaign, Excelencia in Education will expand its information role to track progress toward Latino college degree completion, as well as engage stakeholders at the national, state, and institutional levels to develop and deploy a policy roadmap to accelerate Latino college degree completion. As such, Excelencia in Education released the following two reports to complement the campaign's launch and goals:

• Ensuring America's Future: Federal Policy and Latino College Completion

• Ensuring America's Future: Benchmarking Latino College Completion to Meet National Goals: 2010 to 2020
