This issue of HO is dedicated to graduate education. That level of specialized education used to be the domain of the highly intelligent and privileged in our society. Sometimes being privileged, financially secure, was more important than academic superiority. The Ph.D. has long been the pinnacle of graduate education. We also value the university evolution of Latinas.
