Student Action with Farmworkers’ Levante Leadership Institute

October 8, 2014 By Felicia Arriaga Leave a Comment

Recognized among most effective in nation at increasing Latino Student Success

Student Action with Farmworkers (SAF) was selected from among 217 competitors from 26 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico as one of 14 Finalists for the 2014 Examples of Excelencia award.  Conceived and run by Excelencia in Education, this is the only national initiative to systematically identify, recognize, and catalogue evidence-based programs that improve Latino college success.

“As one of this year’s Finalists, Student Action with Farmworkers is at the forefront of meeting the challenge of improving higher educational achievement for Latino students,” said Sarita Brown, president of Excelencia in Education.  “No longer should policymakers and institutional leaders ask how to improve college success for Latinos – we have the largest accumulation of proven examples and tested strategies that show them how.  Today’s question is do leaders have the will to put these practices into action.”
