The University of Northern Colorado is anticipating that Hispanic and Latino students will soon make up 25% of total enrollment. Tobias Guzmán, interim vice president for student affairs, tells us how this will propel the university on its pursuit of being designated as a Hispanic Serving Institution.
We also look back on a story about Dominique David-Chavez, whose natural resource and reconciliation course at Colorado State University examines how colonialism has shaped environmental policy and resource management.
And, we revisit a conversation with Abenicio Rael, executive director of equity and inclusion at Front Range Community College, to learn how he plans to help students of all backgrounds achieve academic success.
