Lecture addresses needs of Black and Latino Student Achievers
Getting Black and Latino Student Achievers to and through College
The public is invited to the Hornsby Distinguished Lecture by Professor Shaun R. Harper, Ph.D. on March 12.
Getting Black and Latino Student Achievers to and through College
Much of Professor Harper’s lecture will be framed around key findings from a study recently finished in NYC public schools: SUCCEEDING IN THE CITY REPORT. While the study was based on samples of male students, Professor Harper will focus more on what educators did in the 40 public high schools to foster student achievement and create college-going cultures.
