Founded in 2011, Excelencia in Education launched the Presidents for Latino Student Success initiative in 2014 to support institutional leaders transforming higher education by ensuring Latino students have the opportunities and resources needed to succeed. Programs and initiatives that work for Latino students often serve as models for supporting all students, benefiting the broader educational landscape.

By joining the P4LSS network, Dr. Schultz will collaborate with Excelencia and other higher education leaders to share expertise, leverage resources, foster partnerships, and strengthen efforts to accelerate Latino student success at the national level.

“At Mt. San Jacinto College, we are deeply committed to fostering an inclusive, supportive environment where all students can excel,” said Dr. Roger Schultz, Superintendent/President of MSJC. “Joining the Presidents for Latino Student Success network aligns with our mission to provide equitable access to education and empower our diverse student body. We are excited to partner with Excelencia in Education to further advance these efforts and drive meaningful impact.”

“Institutional leadership focused on intentionally serving Latino, and all, students is the hallmark of the presidents and chancellors in this network,” said Sarita Brown, co-founder and president of Excelencia in Education. “We are proud to catalyze and support them as they advance student success and grow talent for our country’s bright future.”

Dr. Schultz joins more than 150 higher education leaders in the P4LSS network. While this network represents only 5% of the thousands of colleges and universities nationwide, its members enroll 32% and graduate 34% of all Latino students in higher education.

Excelencia in Education is honored to work alongside visionary and action-driven leaders who have answered the national call to accelerate Latino student success and help shape America’s future.
