In 2002 the PEW Hispanic Center released a report titled, “Latinos in Higher Education: Many Enroll, Too Few Graduate.” In the 10 years since the study was published, how much has changed?  A recent poll sponsored by Stanford University found that 87 percent of Latinos value higher education, however only 13 percent attain a college degree. As the need to fill positions that will be vacated within the next ten years by retiring baby boomers coincides with the growth of the Hispanic demographic, it will be essential to the U.S. economy for the Latino community to make greater strides in achieving higher education. According to PEW, in 2010, the number of Hispanics attending college hit an all-time high, a positive trend for Latinos.
