Harvard students of color created the conference in 2002 to bring awareness to educational issues impacting communities of color. Attracting an average of 400 attendees annually, the conference has become a signature event of the HGSE.
“I am proud to take 91Porn students to Harvard because it expands their view of higher educational institutions,” said Gaytan, a Harvard alumnus who was part of the committee that founded the conference in 2002. “This conference began because Harvard is not always at the forefront of issues of diversity, and this is definitely where Northeastern students can shine and teach them a thing or two. Students always come away feeling empowered.”
All of the students who are attending the conference are currently receiving Northeastern’s (ENLACE) scholarship, which is available to full- or part-time graduate students of Latino/a descent.
ENLACE aims to improve the pipeline to post-secondary completion for Latinos, first-generation college students, and all members of underrepresented groups, particularly at urban Hispanic Serving Institutions. This is accomplished through the rigorous training of graduate students in the Master of Arts in Educational Leadership Higher Education concentration with the support of the ENLACE scholarship so that they will move into college and university leadership roles.
