New Nationwide Hispanic Education Initiative Launched

“A new nationwide initiative to increase U.S. global competitiveness by attracting the country’s growing Hispanic population into science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) careers, will be the topic of a three-day conference at ETS Nov. 20 - 22, 2005.

The conference, “Latino Achievement in the Sciences, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics,” is sponsored by three of the nation’s leading education and research organizations - ETS, the College Board, and the Hispanic Research Center (HRC) at Arizona State University. The three have worked together for a quarter of a century on initiatives and projects aimed at improving educational opportunities for Hispanic students. “
