The Promise of Higher Education: Latinos and Community Colleges
The increase in Latino high school graduation rates has led to rocketing enrollment in postsecondary institutions, with nearly half of these students attending community colleges. However, the Latino college retention rate is lower than for other groups. According to research, a contributing factor is that not all community colleges are preparing Latinos to move on to four-year institutions.
These institutions are embedded in communities and meet the needs of many Latinos who want to be close to home or need the flexibility to accommodate work schedules or family obligations. Community colleges are also a crucial part of the workforce pipeline for nontraditional students, including immigrants and Latinos.
What can community college systems across the United States do to better educate and serve Latino students? This conversation will explore the needs of students in community colleges and will offer innovative program and policy solutions that support Latinos through the finish line of higher education.

Economy Town HallPHOENIX CONVENTION CENTER, NORTH 1211:30–3:00 p.m.
Tax policy is critical because it defines how much it takes from us to invest in government to provide the services we all need. It can also help or hinder the economic progress of Latinos and other low-income American families. The president and Congress have signaled their intention to work on reforming the tax system in the coming months. This town hall will put a spotlight on the strategies policymakers will be proposing. Come hear how tax reform impacts how we invest in our future, supports working families, spurs economic growth, and can even reduce poverty. Every one of us has something at stake in the current tax system, and we will be affected by its reform. Join us for an energetic debate that will lift up the key issues driving tax policy and reform.

Health Town HallPHOENIX CONVENTION CENTER, NORTH 1213:00–4:30 p.m.
Major gains in access to affordable, equitable, and quality health care have been made since the implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), reducing the uninsured rate by almost half. As Congress and the new administration continue to enact legislation to repeal and replace major parts of the ACA, the health status and livelihood of millions of Latino children and families are at stake. An estimated 24 million Americans could be stripped of their health coverage, including eight million Latinos. Additionally, more than $800 billion could be cut from Medicaid. During the Health Town Hall, you will hear from key leaders in policy, consumer advocacy, provider, and public sector on what’s at stake, who are the winners and losers, and how we can advocate and advance good policy solutions that protect the most vulnerable members of our communities and create a more equitable health care system for all Americans.
This town hall is the closing session for the NCLR Health Summit.

FEATURED SPEAKERS
NCLR and its Affiliate Council present the 2017 Affiliate Leadership Breakfast, featuring a special conversation with NCLR President and CEO Janet Murguía and NCLR Senior Vice President of Communications and Marketing Zandra Zuno Baermann. We are justifiably proud of the great accomplishments NCLR and its Affiliate Network have achieved on behalf of the nation’s now 60 million Latinos over the past five decades. As we look to the future, we want to elevate the Affiliate voice as we bring full awareness among our fellow Americans of who we are and who we want to be for the next 50 years. We look to you, as important stakeholders and partners, to join us as we continue fighting for our community and for an America where economic, political, and social advancement is a reality for all Latinos. Join us to discuss strategies and specific actions we can take that lift our collective voice, and that help us forge forward together for a strong future.
¡Unidos! Moving Forward Together for a Strong Future
