Why This Matters
Like much of the nation, Indiana is grappling with a predicted decline in college-aged students that could significantly impact higher education institutions. This challenge makes it imperative for universities to expand their focus on historically underserved communities, including Latino students.
According to a recent report by the Indiana Commission for Higher Education, Latino students are enrolling in college at growing rates, but gaps in resources and support persist. By hosting D铆a de la Familia, VU aims to bridge those gaps and provide the tools Latino families need to succeed in higher education.

INvestED's expertise helps families make informed decisions to limit student loan debt and make higher education attainable.
- ALASI, a vital advocate for Latino communities in Southern Indiana since 2008, will provide cultural and logistical support to ensure the event is accessible and impactful.
