Created in 2005 by Excelencia in Education, Examples of Excelencia is a national initiative that identifies and promotes evidence-based practices improving Latinx student success in higher education. This year, The Immokalee Foundation was chosen as the Example of Excelencia at the community-based organization level, for its Career Pathways: Empowering Students to Succeed program.
In this episode, we welcome Noemi Y. Perez, President & CEO of The Immokalee Foundation.
Join Perez and Diverse host Ralph Newell as they discuss the transformative impact of The Immokalee Foundation’s work in creating tools, opportunities, and support systems to help students succeed—whether they pursue college, technical programs, or certifications. Perez also shares her insights on guiding students through multiple educational pathways and the importance of fostering long-term success.
The 2024 Examples of Excelencia being recognized at the associate, baccalaureate, and graduate levels will also be featured on In The Margins.
