LATINO MILLENNIAL FOOTPRINT OF

THE 2016 ELECTIONS Story by Michelle Adam

atinos, and specifically Latino millennials who make up nearly half of Latino voters, have the potential of significantly impacting this fall’s election. The question remains, though, if they will vote, and if they do, for whom they will vote. Latino millennials who like all millennials are adults between the ages of 18 and 35, make up 44 percent of all Latinos eligible to vote in the upcoming elections. Since the 2012 elections, 3.2 million Latinos have joined this millennial group and are now able to impact the 2016 presidential vote. Yet, tradition has it that Latino voter turnout has remained consistently below 50 percent during the past three decades—compared to 67 percent for Blacks and 64 percent for Whites in the 2012 elections— and it may be unlikely that the Latino millennial population will change any of this. Defining Millennials Before determining whether or not Latino millennials will impact the 2016 elections, it’s important to understand who they are. Jose Villa, president of Sensis Agency, a cross-cultural advertising agency that 6 • September 2016

~

has initiated The Hispanic Millennial Project, has been looking at exactly this in the past few years. He and his cohorts have tracked this market subgroup of Latinos through the project’s innovative research initiative since 2014. “Politically they are kind of in the middle. They share a lot of similar attitudes and beliefs to their parents and older counterparts. They still have one foot in the immigrant experience and one from the native American experience,” Villa said. “In one sense they are very optimistic. They still believe in the American Dream and that hard work will achieve success compared to White millennials who have a less positive view. This is the group that won’t probably want to ‘go back to America being great again.’ They think it is great.” According to Villa’s research, this group of millennials places a high importance on education and holds traditional values of building family and owning a home and car. This compares to what he sees as the stereotypical White millennial that is seen as more nihilistic, and is delaying starting families and buying homes.

Among Latino millennials, 44 percent are foreign born and make up a large part of this subgroup. Because of this, they tend to be more satisfied with this country and more religious. Villa says the foreign born tend to be more conservative and entrepreneurial. But, when it comes to politics, Latino millennials at large are “a group that is up for grabs.” They are the ones driving up the number of Latinos eligible to vote, and among them are Puerto Ricans who have moved to the mainland. When it comes to topics of concern for them, they are no different in their responses than Latinos in general. The economy, immigration and education are, in this order, the three top issues of concern for them according to The Hispanic Millennial Project. While this research shows that Latino millennials could vote for either party—Republican or Democratic—the question remains whether they will actually vote when the time comes. “Younger voters in general don’t vote as much as older voters, and Hispanics are less likely to turn out in large num-

bers,” said Villa based on data from earlier elections. “This group has two things going against it.” Villa added, “They are unlikely to vote in large percentages unless they are brought out by key issues or a person. One of the candidates has the potential to bring them out to vote against him. His rhetoric on immigration and comments he’s made on Hispanics have the potential to motivate a larger percentage to come out and vote against him than otherwise would.” Latino Voting Trends Villa and Jens Manuel Krogstad, writer and editor for the Pew Research Center, both concurred that Latinos and Latino millennials are most likely to have the greatest impact in swing states such as Col-

orado, Utah, and Arizona. They agreed that California and Texas, states with the largest concentration of Latinos, typically cancel each other out in the elections. Also, when it comes to the direction of the overall Latino vote, Latinos have traditionally voted for Democratic candidates. In the 2012 elections, more than 70 percent of Latinos voted for Barack Obama, Krogstad noted. “But the Latino vote isn’t monolithic. Cuban Americans have traditionally backed Republicans, but even that is changing with newer Cuban immigrants,” he said. “With a more recent survey we did, there was more support overall for Hillary Clinton, but this wasn’t uniform across different groups. English-dominant Latinos were less

unified in their support of Clinton, whereas 80 percent of Spanish-dominant Latinos support her.” According to the Pew Research Center’s report, Hispanic Voters and the 2016 Election, “Hillary Clinton currently has a 66 percent/24 percent advantage over Donald Trump among Hispanic registered voters. Clinton’s lead among Latino voters extends across many demographic subgroups. Among millennials (18to 35-year-olds)—who make up 44 percent of all Hispanic eligible voters—Clinton leads 71 percent/19 percent. Her advantage is roughly as large (65 percent/26 percent) among older Hispanics (those 36 and older).” 8 • September 2016

In addition, the report notes, “Clinton’s lead is somewhat larger among Hispanic women than it is among Hispanic men. Among Hispanic women, 71 percent say they support Clinton while 19 percent say they support Trump. By contrast, among Hispanic men, 61 percent support Clinton, and 30 percent support Trump.” For the upcoming elections, the size of the Hispanic electorate is expected to number 27.3 million eligible voters, which is 12 percent of all eligible voters (almost half of these are millennials). “Their share of the overall electorate is increasing, and one of the milestones in 2016 is that for the first time Latinos make up just as

much as the electorate Blacks,” Krogstad said. “Blacks, though, have a higher turnout rate.” Will Latino Millennials Vote? Given the large contingency of millennials among Latino voters (and the young median age of 19 for U.S. born Latinos compared to the median age of 30 to 40 years old for Whites), the likelihood that millennials will impact the Latino vote is high—that is, if they vote. “Latino millennials really have a large footprint in the Latino electorate,” Krogstad concluded. “But when it comes to the elections this fall, the big question is, will they vote?” The answer: only time will tell. •


FORGET THE SCISSORS AND GLUE New Product

a Boost to Student and Professional Architects Story compiled by Mary Ann Cooper

T

here is no doubt that the digital age has transformed many academic fields of study on the undergraduate and graduate level. Architecture is no exception to that trend. However, one of the ways that architecture has not progressed has been in the way architects ply their trade. Most specifically, the ability to display scale models of their creative proposals to prospective clients. As an architect, Damien Murtagh realized the benefits of presenting a physical model to clients far outweighed any impact a drawing could ever have. So in 2009, he began to investigate ways of radically improving current methods while taking inspiration from a contemporary building system he was simultaneously developing. Five years and numerous prototypes later, he had invented Arckit, the world’s first architect’s reusable scaled model building design kit. What he discovered was that this was not only an important professional tool for established architects, it was a valuable teaching tool on all levels from students as young as 12 to undergraduate and graduate students completing projects as part of their class course curricula. “Architects have always used models as a means to explore and communicate ideas, Murtaugh explained. “Today however, cutting and gluing materials is no longer feasible due to time and cost constraints involved. Arckit is a groundbreaking freeform modeling system that opens up a whole new way for architects and everyone to physically visualize their designs.”

Hispanic Outlook asked Murtaugh how he made the leap from using Arckit strictly as a business application to a teaching tool for students. For Murtaugh, it wasn’t a great leap. “I always believed that once our components were easy enough to assemble, that Arckit would, in fact, open up architectural design and precision model making to everyone. I also could see its educational benefits in terms of being a spontaneous design tool with vast building capabilities.” Once he tested that theory, the results were impressive. “We launched two years ago, and I immediately saw the impact it was having on children who grasped Arckit instantly,” Murtaugh told Hispanic Outlook, “and the many hundreds of parents who told us ‘this should be taught in schools.’ We soon

began to get serious interest from schools and universities, and many started to purchase our products. So we knew early on that Arckit Education was going to be a fundamental part of our product and business.” As of 2014, several schools and universities around the world committed to making Ackit part of their architecture and design courses. Arckit’s first pioneers in education are the University of Huddersfield in the United Kingdom and Loretto Kirribilli Senior School in Sydney, Australia. They were the first secondary school and university in the world to officially include Arckit as part of their curriculum to use alongside digital software for architectural design.

ANTONIO FLORES Celebrating His 20th Year as Executive Director

of the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU) and Still Going Strong Written by Gary M. Stern

M

ost executive directors of non-profit educational organizations burn out. It’s just an expected result of running an organization with limited resources and excessive hours. And then there’s Antonio Flores who was named president and

executive director of the San Antonio, Texas-based Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU) in 1996. Persistent, resolute and tireless, 68-year-old Flores is committed to improving everyone of the colleges that HACU serves. In fact, those colleges educate three million Latino students or nearly two thirds of the Latinos attending college in the U.S. About 25 percent of its undergraduate members attend Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs), which are growing in number and stature. Under Flores’ leadership, HACU has tripled its membership from 161 colleges to 489 colleges, fought to increase federal funding and secured millions of dollars in private funds.

In this question and answer interview, Flores explains HACU’s main accomplishments and what keeps him going as he celebrated his twentieth anniversary of running HACU. Hispanic Outlook: Most executive directors at educational non-profits burn out. What keeps you going after 20 years? Antonio Flores: I think three things keep me going: 1) First of all is my strong commitment and passion for the mission of this organization, which is to champion Hispanic success in higher education; 2) Recognizing that although we’ve achieved a great deal since I joined HACU that we’ve just scratched the surface and need to close the persistent gap in educational attainment between Hispanics and the rest of the country; 3) The tremendous sense of satisfaction and reward of what we do is reflected on the faces of young

people who earn degrees, and the many we help move from college degree to employment. Everything we do as an organization energizes me. HO: After 20 years at HACU, what accomplishments are you proudest of? Antonio Flores: One of our main tasks is to advocate for people we represent. We’ve persuaded Congress to invest nearly $3 billion over the last 20 years in programs that are geared toward advancing Hispanic success at HSIs. But also what’s begun to take root is many more colleges are embracing and making their own identities. HO: What benefits do most of your member colleges want from HACU? Antonio Flores: Of course the HSI’s want us to continue to generate funding from Congress and the govern-

ment, so they can do an even better job of serving Latinos. Secondly, they want us to bring them together at our annual conference and regional meetings, so they can share what’s working best in advancing the educational success of Latinos and discuss best practices. They also want us to continue to offer the internships that have led to 12,000 internships. Most are paid internships, many with the federal government and over the last 10 years, increasingly with corporations. HO: In many, if not most, states, college funding has been cut. What problems is this creating for colleges that serve Latinos? Antonio Flores: It diminishes their capacities to enroll the growing number of students who want to go there. They can’t provide the quality of faculty and everything that goes with increaswww.HispanicOutlook.com • 11


ing enrollment. It also forces them to increase fees and raise tuition to make up for that deficit. Therefore, students have to come up with more money for resources they don’t have and must borrow. That leads to horror stories of so many students saddled with debts. HO: What specifically can colleges with large Latino student bodies do to counteract these budgetary cutbacks? Antonio Flores: We need to persuade legislators on state and federal levels to make higher education a priority rather than building prisons, one of the fastest growing sectors. We need to switch to remediation in prison and human capital development. We have to persuade policy makers that they have to invest more and not cut in areas of education and workforce development. 12 • September 2016

HO: For example, which colleges have taken the lead to overcome these budget cuts? Antonio Flores: Practically all of them are doing something. What comes to mind is one of the largest public higher education systems in the country is California State University, which enrolls close to half a million students. It had to reduce and shrink enrollment from year to year due to government cuts during the recession and beyond. They had to come up with ideas to stretch dollars and think about how to get new revenue from the private sector. Many developed strong developmental offices to knock on the doors of corporations and foundations to ask them for help. If you ask 23 California state campuses, they’ll give you clear examples of what they did.

HO: The number of Latino alumni is growing. What role can they play? Antonio Flores: We’d like alumni to be more engaged in support of their alma maters and make every effort to target funding for financial and scholarships for Latinos, especially those from low income backgrounds who might not go to college without additional help. These alumni are role models and can serve as mentors to help young people succeed. HO: The Higher Education Act is due for reauthorization. What would you like to see happen with it? Antonio Flores: We’d like to see an expanded version of Title V, the main title of the law that supports HSIs, and is now inadequate. Because every

HO: Increasingly, the children of the top 10 percent of earners get into college, and the bottom 25 percent find it hard to pay for college. What changes would you like to see happen to change this inequality?

year about 30 new HSI’s emerge, and the money isn’t growing; the funding has remained stagnant. Therefore, the money is diluted for more institutions. We’d like to see a greater understanding by Congress of how critical Latinos are for the well-being of the entire nation. HO: Latino population is the fastest growing population in the U.S., and we need more Latino STEM majors. What would you like to see the National Science Foundation (NSF) do to accomplish this goal? Antonio Flores: We’d like NSF to set up a program specifically to help HSI’s develop more and better capabilities in the STEM field, so more Latinos students can get the benefit of these programs. The House has passed this bill, but the Senate hasn’t acted.

Antonio Flores: I’d like to see three things: 1) The federal investment needs to be increased in higher education for student aid, so lower-income families can support their kids; 2) I’d like states to come back to levels that operated 20 years ago; 3) I’d like to see the private sector and big corporations that benefit from top-notch labor from university graduates invest more money in education, rather than what Google and Apple are doing, by putting millions of dollars into foreign banks. HO: But Latinos still lag behind other groups in terms of college attainment. Pew Research Center reported just 15 percent of Latino’s earned a bachelor’s degree compared to 40 percent of Whites and 20 percent of African Americans. What can be done to improve that figure? Antonio Flores: More than half the battle for Latino success in higher education has to be won in K-12 classes. State and federal governments have to target more resources where there is a higher number of Latinos. Latinos today are the most segregated students in K-12, more so than African Americans. In most of their districts, they don’t have the most qualified teachers or the most rigorous curriculum or are well-prepared for college success. The more remediation they need, the less chance they have of finishing their degree. HO: How long can you keep going? Antonio Flores: I’m approaching that inevitable day when I can say, “Okay, someone needs to come in and do this

“We’d like alumni to be more engaged in support of their alma maters and make every effort to target funding for financial and scholarships for Latinos, especially those from low income backgrounds who might not go to college without additional help. These alumni are role models and can serve as mentors to help young people succeed.” Antonio Flores job, yet I don’t know when that will be.” As long as my health holds up, and wife supports me, and I can continue to deliver high quality work, I’ll keep going. HO: To what do you attribute HACU’s success? Antonio Flores: There are several factors including the great team of people in San Antonio, Washington, D.C. and Sacramento, our members and our governing board, and we’ve become a better known organization with federal agencies and corporate partners. • www.HispanicOutlook.com • 13


From Military to Civilian Life Reaching Veterans in the Classroom Written by Sylvia Mendoza

r. Omar Lopez saw a wave of patriotism that flowed from the Rio Grande Valley in Texas, even though it was one of the poorest counties in the U.S. His father, grandfather and other relatives served in the Armed Forces during several wars. With the examples they set, Lopez’s daily observations of veterans’ experiences and well-being left a definitive mark on his career decisions. His vision became clear: to confront society’s most vulnerable populations—Hispanics, military veterans and adult students at risk—and make a difference for them. “The men in my family never really spoke deeply of their experience,” Lopez said. “The life experiences and stories they shared as I grew up instilled in me a respect and admiration for veterans—men and women—who have made the greatest sacrifice to defend our freedom and American way of life.” Often times, veterans have a difficult transition to that way of life, to a civilian way of life. The transition from non-college life to an academic one adds another layer of complexity. “Our department began receiving more veteran students 14 • September 2016

in 2010, around the time the military was beginning to downsize from overseas deployment. I noticed that not much was available to support veteran students, especially for those with PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) or TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury).” As a professor in the Department of Occupational, Workforce, and Leadership Studies in the College of Applied Arts at Texas State University, Lopez focused on veterans and their needs in his classes. He noted how professors’ teaching strategies and practices within the context of students’ learning needs was lacking. They were less in tune for veterans. “Vets in transitions—they’re lost,” Lopez explained. “Student veterans remain at risk for academic success. What we do in our teaching contributes to students’ learning in the classroom, but how we do our teaching is what makes the differ-

ence to students’ academic success.” Lopez who teaches entrepreneurship, work-based learning and supervised field-based student projects, believes that to be conscientious of veteran students and their needs, faculty have a responsibility to create learning environments where all students can be self-motivated to achieve academic success. However, faculty must first identify their individual philosophy of teaching. A common interest in veterans’ well-being brought together Lopez, Dr. Stephan Springer, an Associate Professor and former department chair who also served as a Colonel in the Texas State Guard; and Jeffrey Nelson, a graduate student completing a research study on the use of service dogs as an intervention for veterans with PTSD. They delved into the five principles of effective instructional practice identified by the Nation-

al Research Council (NRC). Their research produced Veterans in the College Classroom: Guidelines for Instructional Practices. Drawing on cognitive, developmental and educational psychology, and brain research on how people learn, they connected how the five principles create effective learning among students. “The core of these principles tap into our very nature of who we are as human beings—social-seeking animals capable of constructing from prior experiences new learning through meaningful knowledge in a variety of contexts guided by relevant feedback.” The principles should be grounded in four broad reflection categories: teaching and learning, goals, students and self. “Only by knowing one’s values, beliefs and expectations as a teacher can we become fully aware of our students and their learning needs.” www.HispanicOutlook.com • 15


Teachers Can: • Connect students’ learning to previous experiences (introduce new material in a familiar context). • Socialize the classroom learning experience (a buddy system or team work is better than individual work; inter-reliance among service members to support each other is strong). • Differentiate the instructional context (visual, auditory, interactive, print-oriented, tactile, kinesthetic and olfactory learning styles). • Prepare connected, organized and relevant material (keeps them focused and on task). • Schedule feedback and active evaluations (helps define strengths, vulnerabilities, values, dreams and fears). Awareness First Take the time to learn which students are veterans. Realize some vets can react strongly to teaching strategies that act like triggers. These can be as innocent as showing a World War II documentary or banging on a desk to get attention. Awareness of differences in veteran students that are sometimes confused with deviance or that something is wrong can set them up for failure. “We believe nothing is wrong with student veterans that the practice of NRC principles cannot overcome,” Lopez said. It is a matter of practicing a philosophy of teaching that improves awareness of potential needs. For example, body language, behavior and/or physical conditions such as profuse sweating or panting for air, may require special medical assistance. Classroom management rules 16 • September 2016

that allow students to leave to attend to personal matters relieve stress. Poor or late attendance, outbursts or incoherent discourse in class, or late submissions of assignments may need referrals to additional resources. Sometimes medications factor in. Many students with PTSD and some with other disorders are on psychotropic medications that have all kinds of benefits but also disadvantages that become debilitating, Lopez said. Setting Vets up for Success Returning to school is a major shift in veterans’ lives and way of thinking. Even though most veterans tend not to ask for help, when professors articulate clearly what’s expected in the class, the chance for success is greater, Lopez explained. “How and when we do communicate with students matters. They have to have a purpose behind that academic pathway.” This success goes beyond the classroom and can affect their careers, health, relationships and opportunity to give back to the community. Professors are responsible for creating a learning environment that is nurturing and in tune to individual needs yet sets high standards. Using online technologies like discussion forums, blogs and email as well as traditional strategies, the students might just transition better as they learn how to work in teams, act, set expectations, approach professors, develop skills and advocate for themselves. “At the end of the day, you as instructor can make or break a veteran student’s success,” Lopez said. “Be an authentic teacher and help push

HACU Honors

EXCELLENCE IN HIGHER EDUCATION Story courtesy of Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities

T

he Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU) established the HACU Hall of Champions to honor those who embody the mission of the Association through exemplary efforts “To Champion Hispanic Success in Higher Education.” They began this practice in 2011 with the induction of Antonio Rigual and have continued every year including in 2015 with the induction of Cruz Reynoso. Here are the honorees of HACU’s Hall of Champions.

ANTONIO RIGUAL Throughout his higher education career, the late Dr. Antonio Rigual demonstrated a great commitment to championing Hispanic higher education success as a professor of Spanish, a university administrator and a pioneer of Hispanic higher education on a national level.

Rigual’s passion for education and his great vision opened the path to educational opportunities for many students. He served on numerous national and San Antonio commissions and received a variety of awards including being named OLLU’s first Moody Professor (1971), the Fleming Award for Exemplary Faculty Service at OLLU (2000) and San Antonio’s Ford Salute to Education Award (Education Category) in 2006.

HISPANIC-SERVING STATE COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES Aim to Boost Political, Civic Engagement Adapted from a story originally authored by Michelle Davis in AASCU’s Spring 2016 Public Purpose magazine

S

hortly before election day on the campus of the University of Houston-Downtown (UHD), hundreds of students gather for a rally to hear from inspirational speakers, interact with local artists and politicians and applaud hip-hop groups and other musicians. Then, en masse, the group walks several blocks to a polling station, and everyone votes. Texas law allows early voters to cast their ballots at any polling place, so organizers of the “Walk 2 Vote” event capitalize on that, said senior John Locke, president of the Student Government Association. The “Walk 2 Vote” event is just a part of the school’s nonpartisan efforts to increase political engagement, giving the UHD a 50 percent student voter rate in 2012. It’s a notable achievement on an overwhelmingly racially diverse and non-traditional student campus; 71 percent of registered students voted in that election.

~ In contrast, nationwide election turnout by Hispanic youth in 2012 (36.9 percent) decreased from 2008 and was significantly lower than that of White (46.1 percent) and African-American (53.7 percent) youth according to the Center for Information & Research on Civic Learning and Engagement (CIRCLE) at Tufts University. CIRCLE also found that Latino youth are least likely to be broadly engaged and most likely to feel civically alienated, yet they are interested in having conversations about important public issues. Hence, state colleges and universities (SCUs) with a significant number of Hispanic students are working to boost both political and civic engagement on campus. Improved voter turnout and a more civically active student body have long-term benefits, said Jennifer Domagal-Goldman, national manager for the American Association of State Colleges and Universities’ (AASCU) American Democracy

Project (ADP), which aims to prepare students to be informed, engaged citizens within their local communities. “Creating a positive climate on campus for nonpartisan political learning and engagement, and advancing democracy are what this is really all about,” she said. “We have to be able to move the needle.” Creating Awareness of Social Responsibility Civic engagement plays a part in community and political involvement, with implications for student success on campus too. Each semester, as part of a Public Sphere Pedagogy initiative at California State University (CSU) Chico, nearly 2,000 students take over local government for one day, filling the city council chamber and the city hall. They coalesce around an issue—immigration, mental health reform—discussing in small groups, www.HispanicOutlook.com • 21


presenting research and hearing from informed community members. The day culminates with a “Great Debate,” and students are asked to write reflective papers on their experiences. The school also hosts a “Town Hall,” which—this academic year— will be part of a required civics course. Students are asked to look deeply at a community problem then gather for an evening town hall, working in small groups with community mentors to exchange research and solutions. Data has shown these events significantly improve student retention and academic achievement—partic22 • September 2016

ularly for minority and first-generation students—and the impact lasts for years, said Thia Wolf, first-year experience director at CSU Chico. “We give students a taste of what it means to be an informed adult in a democratic society and to have discussions over issues in a civil manner,” Wolf said. CSU Chico is an ADP participant. Other campuses are adapting CSU Chico’s efforts. At CSU Los Angeles, students taking an introductory civics class this fall will have a similar experience as part of their coursework. The school piloted this effort during the previous academic year, said Michael Willard, faculty

director of service learning in the Center for Engagement, Service and the Public Good. During the pilot, students worked toward solutions to mental wellness issues. The culmination of the exercise was a town hall in which students working on plans in small groups voted for their favorites, some of which were eventually implemented, Willard said. Changing Student Thinking about Politics and Civic Engagement Campuses can learn from the high-fliers, such as UHD, which— like the two CSU campuses—par-

ticipates in AASCU’s ADP. UHD’s efforts to create political engagement on campus go way beyond voter registration drives and are year-round, said Windy Lawrence, founder and director of the school’s Center for Public Deliberation. Through the center, the campus hosts two or more forums per semester that focus on controversial issues like immigration or guns on campus. Attendees break into small groups to trade views instead of listening to a few speakers. Everyone gets to express their views. “Prior to participating, [students] think of debates as unproductive conversations between po-

litical candidates,” Lawrence said. “Afterwards, they understand that politics can be productive, and they are a critical part of that.” The administration sets an important tone of support, she said. Past school president William Flores and his wife Noël Bezette-Flores founded an umbrella organization, the Center for Community Engagement and Service Learning, which helps the disparate community and political engagement efforts on campus work toward a unified vision, get funding and harness their power, without replicating each other’s efforts. These types of campus initia-

tives can bloom into lifelong habits of civic involvement, said Nancy Thomas, director of the Institute for Democracy and Higher Education at Tufts University’s Jonathan M. Tisch College of Civic Life. “There’s evidence that the old way of expecting young people to get involved—by candidates showing up and shaking hands and saying ‘Get out the vote’—doesn’t work,” she said. “What’s grabbing students today is engaging in quality discussions around issues and being informed.” For more information about AASCU’s ADP, visit http://aascu. org/programs/ADP/. • www.HispanicOutlook.com • 23


THE ALAMO COLLEGES Building an Infrastructure to Increase Hispanic Student Success Written by Michelle Perales

T

his February, San Antonio College was nationally ranked 8th in Hispanic enrollment at community colleges and 20th in associate degrees awarded to Hispanics by Hispanic Outlook. That San Antonio College was compared against multi-college districts makes its accomplishment especially significant. Alamo Colleges System San Antonio College is one of five individually accredited colleges in the Alamo Colleges’ system; its sister colleges are St. Philip’s College, Palo 24 • September 2016

Alto College, Northwest Vista College and Northeast Lakeview College. When evaluated as a cohesive college system, the Alamo Colleges is a major force in Hispanic student college enrollment and degree attainment, both statewide and nationally. The Alamo Colleges is one of the nation’s largest post-secondary institutions, with a total enrollment of over 60,000 credit and 20,000 non-credit students in fall 2015. Approximately 61 percent of the Alamo Colleges’ total credit enrollment, over 37,000 students, are Hispanic. Collectively,

the Alamo Colleges served the largest number of Hispanic students in the nation among community colleges. Additionally, the Alamo Colleges has experienced a steady 8.2 percent increase in Hispanic student enrollment over the past five years. All five of the Alamo Colleges are designated Hispanic Serving Institutions. Challenges The Alamo Colleges recognizes that creating a well-educated future workforce is crucial to ensuring economic well-being in San Antonio.


While the city’s Hispanic population is significantly larger than that of Dallas, Houston or Austin, Texas’ growing Hispanic segment of the workforce has the highest drop-out rates, lowest educational attainment rates and largest percentage of limited English proficiency. The majority, 56 percent, of Alamo Colleges’ students in developmental education are Hispanic. Solutions Prompted by a charge from its Board of Trustees to scale across all five colleges evidence-based student success initiatives, the Alamo Colleges has articulated an assertive, transformational agenda to align disconnected secondary and postsecondary education systems; support at-risk students who have been failed by conventional systems; and reinforce the college completion/career attainment pathway. Several of the

Alamo Colleges’ innovations, Alamo I-BEST, the Alamo Academies and Dual Enrollment/Early College High School, have demonstrated outstanding results for Hispanic students. Additionally, the Alamo Colleges is investing in future strategies to develop guided college and career pathways that support students as they progress to completion. Alamo I-BEST The Alamo I-BEST initiative, winner of the 2016 national Bellwether Award for innovative community college programs, provides assistance to workers and students who require basic skill development in order to succeed in technical training for high-demand occupations. The program has significantly increased the transfer rate of adult basic and lower-level developmental education students into college credit programs.

Participants are predominantly female, and 80 percent are Hispanic. The program’s job placement rate was 72 percent, and the combined three-year persistence/completion rate was 89 percent compared to 38.1 percent for non-Alamo I-BEST students at similar academic levels. Alamo Academies The Alamo Academies, another Bellwether award winner, was formed through a partnership between the Alamo Colleges, area industry, public schools and the City of San Antonio to address the local skills gap. The program develops a pipeline of skilled technicians to staff new jobs and replace an aging workforce in the Aerospace, Information Technology (IT), Advanced Manufacturing and Health Career sectors. The dual enrollment-based program provides a career pathway for www.HispanicOutlook.com • 25


high school students, many from under-served school districts, to attain industry and academic certificates that lead to high-wage jobs or to further higher education while addressing critical workforce industry needs. The Alamo Academies’ student population is over 70 percent Hispanic. Since the program’s inception, over 1,100 graduates have received training in high-wage occupations while in high school, and 95 percent of graduates have transitioned into higher education or careers in high-demand sectors. Dual Enrollment/Early College High School The Alamo Colleges is committed to expanding post-secondary access and readiness among secondary students in its eight county service area. The Alamo Colleges has established 11 Early College High School (ECHS) partnerships and has scaled dual enrollment programming to all five colleges to create a college 26 • September 2016

gateway for area secondary students. Research demonstrates that ECHS programs narrow and close ethnic achievement gaps based on key indicators of college readiness. Collectively, the Alamo Colleges served over 10,000 total dual enrollment students in fall 2015; 5,661 or 56 percent of which were Hispanic. Future Strategies: AlamoADVISE/ AlamoINSTITUTES The Alamo Colleges has begun redesigning students’ educational experiences through the implementation of a stackable, guided pathways model called the AlamoINSTITUTES. The model provides clearly-defined, manageable choices with guided exploration in addition to clear roadmaps to student end goals with sequenced, connected courses. National research demonstrates that pathways increase completion rates for Hispanic and other at-risk students who need guidance, advising and extra support services

to be successful. Moreover, the INSTITUTES will leverage AlamoADVISE, a proactive and intrusive case management approach designed by the Alamo Colleges to help students achieve critical milestones throughout their educational pathway. Outcomes In 2015, the Alamo Colleges awarded over 9,775 degrees - a 36 percent increase over the prior year and an all-time record for the district. Approximately 60 percent, 5,829, of Alamo Colleges’ graduates were Hispanic. This accomplishment was a direct result of over 400 faculty and staff teams at the five colleges and district working collectively to transform systems. Over the last six years, total degrees awarded by the Alamo Colleges have increased by over 106 percent, and total Hispanic graduates across the collective Alamo Colleges’ system have increased over 104 percent. •


Cooke Foundation Recommends Actions Top Colleges Should Take to Increase Enrollment of Low-Income Students Story courtesy of Jack Kent Cooke Foundation

L

ANSDOWNE, Va. -- The Jack Kent Cooke Foundation has released an issue brief recommending actions that top colleges and universities should take to increase campus diversity by enrolling greater numbers of academically qualified low-income students. The issue brief comes a day after a U.S. Supreme decision rejecting a challenge to race-conscious affirmative action admissions in the case of Fisher v. the University of Texas at Austin. “Particularly in light of the Supreme Court’s ruling in the Fisher case, the need for expanding affirmative action to cover economic discrimination against academically qualified students in college admissions is critical,” said Cooke Foundation Executive Director Harold O. Levy. “As the Supreme Court observed, ‘diversity takes many forms.’” “To create equal educational opportunity for every student to rise as high as his or her talents make possible, it’s important to tear down unfair college admission barriers standing in the way of students regardless of their income,” Levy said. “All our recommendations are proven, practical and reasonable,” Levy added. “We’ve studied what actions have been taken by colleges that have successfully increased their enrollment of outstanding low-income students, and now we’re recommending that other colleges do the same types of things.” The new Cooke Foundation issue brief calls on America’s most selective higher education institutions to:

• Make absolutely clear the true cost of college attendance after financial aid because many low-income students and their parents are deterred from even applying by “sticker shock.” They are simply unaware that college financial aid can dramatically cut the cost.

“Particularly in light of the Supreme Court’s ruling in the Fisher case, the need for expanding affirmative action to cover economic discrimination against academically qualified students in college admissions is critical” Cooke Foundation Executive Director Harold O. Levy • Establish programs to encourage more low-income students to apply for admission because only three percent of students at America’s top colleges and universities come from poor families, compared to 72 percent from wealthy families. • Make the college application process simpler because many low-income students are the first in their fam-

ilies to go to college and can’t turn to parents or siblings for help applying. • Admit students based on their academic record and achievements without discriminating against those who require financial aid – a policy called need-blind admissions – to the greatest extent possible. Money set aside for so-called “merit aid” not based on financial need should be shifted to go to students who require financial aid to attend college. • Remove several other obstacles that disadvantage low-income students in the admission process. • Recognize the barriers that low-income students have overcome in evaluating their suitability for admission. The issue brief is drawn from a study now in progress by the Cooke Foundation that will examine in greater detail how some colleges have opened their doors wider to high-achieving students from low-income families and explain how other schools can do so as well. The Jack Kent Cooke Foundation is dedicated to advancing the education of exceptionally promising students who have financial need. It offers the largest scholarships in the U.S., comprehensive counseling and other support services to students from eighth grade to graduate school. Since 2000, it has awarded about $147 million in scholarships to more than 2,000 students and $90 million in grants to organizations that serve outstanding low-income students. www.jkcf.org • www.HispanicOutlook.com • 27
