We are thrilled to announce the publication of "Reframing College: Mexican American Students, Higher Education, and Family Restorative Justice," authored by our very own Project Outreach FAMILIA Director, Cynthia Trejo. Published by the Samuel DeWitt Proctor Institute of Leadership, Equity, and Justice, this insightful report examines the transformative impact of an early college program in San Luis, Arizona.
“This research underscores the potential impact when every student is recognized for their potential and provided with the resources and encouragement needed to succeed in advanced learning pathways,” Cynthia Trejo highlights.
The report reveals how family engagement and the validation of Latinx scholarly identity prepare first-generation Mexican American students for postsecondary success by reshaping their perspectives and readiness for college.
We invite you to explore this important research and its recommendations for schools, educators, and Latinx college students, aimed at fostering an inclusive and supportive educational environment.
