Technical Assistance Opportunities for Institutional Capacity
Excelencia in Education’s mission is to accelerate Latino student success in higher education. We are committed to significantly increasing the number of Latino students earning college degrees by 2030 in partnership with institutions.
To support and reinforce institutional capacity to more intentionally serve, Excelencia has created a technical assistance strategy to meet institutions where they are in their transformation journey. Excelencia’s technical assistance offers institutional teams the time and space to learn and share strategies that further institutional efforts to align data, practice, and leadership as a community of learners and practice committed to more intentionally SERVING their Latino students.
The learning and knowledge gained through Excelencia's technical assistance builds momentum for change as institutions transform into learning environments where Latino, and all, students thrive.
As a trusted and respected convener, Excelencia's technical assistance opportunities offer institutional teams of five members:
-
Interactive sessions by subject matter specialists, policy makers, researchers, and leaders in higher education;
-
Asset-based discussions on data, practice, leadership, and policy with a Latino lens;
-
Learning and networking environments with other teams to share practices, strengths, and opportunities;
-
Dedicated time and space for teams to reflect and develop tactical action plans for campus-wide implementation; and
-
Continued engagement, learning, and sharing on journey to more intentionally SERVE Latino students with peer teams as part of a network of institutions at 3-, 6-, and 12-month follow-up sessions after each institute.
