Providing better educational opportunities for Latino and Hispanic students will be the subject of a June conference, “Prepárate: Educating Latinos for the Future of American,” hosted by the College Board.

More than 250 educators from across the country will participate in workshops led by educators, community leaders, parents and advocates who will discuss topics such as financial aid, the PROMISE Initiative (Pursuing Regional Opportunities for Mentoring, Innovation, and Success for English Learners), setting high expectations and ways to empower Latino students.

“Prepárate: Educating Latinos for the Future of America” will be held June 14 - 15 at the Westin Los Angeles Airport Hotel, and will include workshops and presentations from several distinguished speakers, including Don Hossler and Raymund A. Paredes, the commissioner of higher education at the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.

All sessions are open to members of the media. For more information about the conference and for a complete list of sessions, visit www.collegeboard.com/preparate.
