Putting Hispanic/Latino Students on the Road to Success: Highlights of 2025 Programs and Initiatives

As we gather together the articles contributed to our publication over this past year, it becomes clear that there is a thriving community of educators – at community colleges, universities, and a variety of local and national organizations - who are dedicated to ensuring that Hispanic/Latino students are not only fully included in higher education, but able to thrive in studies and careers. Thus, this review begins with a summary of the ways in which different programs and initiatives - presented in our pages throughout the year – have approached this mission of putting Hispanic/Latino students on the road to success. This section also highlights the voices of college and university presidents who have shared their vision and strategies for ensuring that all students’ higher education journey is inclusive, enriching, and ultimately transformative for both themselves and their communities.

Enriching knowledge about Latinos and Latin America: Notable Women Fulbright and MacArthur Scholars

The Fulbright Program, run by the U.S. Department of State since 1946, promotes cross-cultural understanding through international student and scholar exchanges.

They are often the recipients of other prestigious awards, including Nobel Prizes, high-level recognition from national governments, Pulitzer Prizes and MacArthur Fellowships.

MacArthur Foundation has awarded MacArthur Fellowships, also known as “Genius Grants”, to scholars who are contributing substantially to their fields of study.
