Data for September 15 Hispanic Month

ESL Faculty --

(This is my first attempt at a memo, and it's with a link, and I'm doing it "my way," so I hope it gets through.)

The link below gives enormous relevant and current data on Hispanic population in U.S. re Hispanic Month this September 15.

Ken,

Thanks for posting these significant data here to share.

With at least a quarter of Palomar's credit students identified as Hispanics, our college has once again applied for designation as a Hispanic-serving institute and got it. Subsequently, the college applied for a federal HSI grant on August 10 and is expecting to hear back from the federal government later this month. I hope our college will use this funding, if received, to serve our Hispanic student population better.
