What works to increase Latino student success in higher education? Since 2005, "Excelencia" in Education has led the only national effort to recognize evidence-based practices that accelerate Latino student success in higher education through Examples of "Excelencia." Through this process, "Excelencia" recognizes programs that are intentionally serving Latino students across four levels: Associate, Baccalaureate, Graduate, and Community-Based Organizations. Over 14 years, "Excelencia" has recognized over 300 programs across the country that work for Latino students. This year's compendium includes 4 Examples of "Excelencia," 12 finalists and 20 Programs to Watch. The programs in this compendium are responsive to the strengths and opportunities their students face in preparing for, persisting in, and completing a college education. This year's recognized programs are increasing Latino student success through scholarships, undergraduate research opportunities, pathways to guide students, mentoring, and culturally responsive programming.
