Welcome and Opening Discussion/Thoughts

Welcome to the Latino/a Knowledge Community Blog. Yes....BLOG. This should provide our KC with an additional venue for communication and the opportunity to create dialogue about anything student affairs related or issues critical to Latinos/as in higher education. YOU make the call.

We (Clarybel and Jason) invite you ALL to participate in this discussion. Be honest, be open, be willing to listen, and most importantly respect as well as value the opinions of all who choose to participate.

Think about anything you deem as important.

For starters...lets talk about immigration and how it has impacted Latinos/as in higher education (both 4 year institutions and community colleges). ANY THOUGHTS? Does that topic fire you up? Do you care? Best practices or policies?
