In the article “Hispanics travel rough road to higher education:
Ethnic group is the fastest growing, but the least likely to enroll in college” Jeannie Kever, the author, addresses the issue of the great disparity in the ratio of Hispanic population and college enrollment.
“Most of our students are the first in their family to go to college,” Trevino said. “They need people they can relate to.” Basically, Hispanics need people they can relate to. However, it is important to remember that they need to develop their academic endeavors successfully. As a Hispanic student, I believe the biggest challenge for Hispanic students is language. So if a Hispanic student is needing assistance in his/her language usage, and (s)he needs someone to relate to, then attending a multicultural writing center would be perfect!
