(NAME-MCE) Consejos: The Undergraduate Experiences of Latina/o Students

[Kristy Cooper]

The editors of the *Harvard Educational Review *are proud to announce the
release of a special issue of the journal entitled* Consejos: The
Undergraduate Experiences of Latina/o Students*.

>From the Editor's Introduction:

*In this special issue of the *Harvard Educational Review*, we call
attention to the needs and interests of Latina/o students currently enrolled
in our nation's colleges and the ever-increasing population of future
Latina/o undergraduates. In doing so we draw on the tradition of *consejos* -
words of wisdom coming from those with experience - honoring both the
insights of our contributors and the interpersonal advice that was critical
to the persistence of many of the Latina/o students whose stories are
presented here. Through six scholarly articles and eight personal
narratives, this collection identifies unexplored questions, unchallenged
assumptions, and new insights regarding Latina/o students' undergraduate
experiences. We urge readers to heed these lessons and to respond to the
wake-up call for critically examining the existing structures and barriers
to personal and intellectual development that are particular to Latina/o
undergraduates.*
