Learning from Monica Clark (NC State Belk Center) and Dr. Nathan Dollar (Nathan Dollar, PhD) from Carolina Demography about North Carolina's Latino Population. Did you know NC's Latinx population is now upward of one million people? #AvanzaNC

Wrapping up a packed day with closing remarks from Dr. Audrey J. Jaeger via NC State Belk Center. “Envisioning a future where Latino students are welcome and empowered.” One-word share outs from participants capturing today’s conversations: “Timely” - “Inspired” - “Hopeful” - “Connected”

Our #HigherEd team is excited to be in IN today with Indiana Commission for Higher Education for the launch of the Indiana Commission for Higher Education Partnership Pentagon! This initiative is designed to guide the priorities of higher education in Indiana over the coming years.

Our #HigherEd team is finishing out the day in Indiana at the 2023 State of Higher Education Address, where @ChrisLoweryIN is sharing current IN postsecondary data and plans for increasing opportunity and possibility for all Hoosier students. Thanks for a great day, Indiana!
