Georgia Gwinnett College Defies National Trend with Hispanic Outreach
Thursday, May 19th, 2022
In a time where Hispanic enrollment in some higher education institutions is trending downward or stagnating, Georgia Gwinnett College’s (GGC) Hispanic student population continues to rise. GGC’s Nancy Ciudad-Simmons and her team are working to maintain that momentum.
A senior student success advisor with GGC’s Student Engagement and Success division, Ciudad-Simmons and her team have been supporting the Hispanic Achievers Committed to Excellence in Results (HACER) living-learning community, which provides academic and cultural experiences to Hispanic/Latino students as well as students who want to learn about Hispanic culture.
