"Our role as a Hispanic-Serving Institute extends beyond our campus," said Risa Dickson, interim president of the University of La Verne. “We are committed to empowering the broader community to achieve their educational and professional aspirations. Our partnership with NCRF for this event is a vital part of that mission, providing resources, guidance, and opportunities that can make a profound difference in students' lives."
“We are excited to host such an incredible experience and opportunity for students and families to interact with peers, counselors, alumni, and other support in one place,” said Alaina Dunn, vice president of enrollment management at the University of La Verne.
“As first-gen Mexicanas, we are filled with immense pride as we celebrate this transformative event year after year for the Latino community during el mes de la Herencia Hispana! It's a celebration! With the 11th Annual Latino College Expo, our goal is to ignite the passion and potential in students, their families and the community by connecting them with crucial resources and support. This event represents more than just an opportunity—it’s a powerful symbol of hope, comunidad, and a stepping stone to boundless possibilities. These opportunities are only made possible by the community that shows up and shows out and our supportive partners like the University of La Verne. ¡Nos vemos el 14 de septiembre!" - Bridget Hurtado and Gabriela Villanueva from National College Resources Foundation's Latino Community Engagement Team
