Nunez Chancellor Tina Tinney, Ed.D., has chosen to affiliate with Excelencia in Education’s national network of Presidents for Latino Student Success.
Excelencia in Education, the nation’s premier authority on efforts accelerating Latino student success in higher education, announced today Dr. Tina Tinney, Chancellor of Nunez Community College has chosen to affiliate with the national network of Presidents for Latino Student Success (P4LSS). The network comprises a group of presidents and chancellors who have committed to making their campuses learning environments where Latino, and all, students thrive.
Excelencia formed our network of common cause in 2011 and Presidents for Latino Student Success in 2014 to support institutional leaders who are transforming higher education to make our country stronger with the contributions, skills, and talents of Latino college graduates. Programs and initiatives that work for Latinos can serve other students as well, and thus the nation at large.
Through the P4LSS network, Dr. Tinney will collaborate with Excelencia and other postsecondary leaders to leverage collective expertise and resources, foster partnerships, and amplify current efforts to accelerate Latino student success in higher education at the national level.
“Institutional leadership focused on intentionally serving Latino, and all, students is the hallmark of the presidents and chancellors in this network," said Sarita Brown, co-founder and president of Excelencia in Education. “We are proud to catalyze and support them as they advance student success and grow talent for our country’s bright future."
Dr. Tinney joins more than 150 leaders that belong to the P4LSS network and lead the nation in enrolling and graduating Latino students. Although the network represents only 5% of the thousands of colleges and universities across the country, the network enrolls 32%, and graduates 34%, of all Latino students in higher education.
Dr. Tinney stated that she is “… excited to partner with Excelencia and bring the knowledge and resources from their organization to support student success in our growing Latino and Hispanic population, and our college community as a whole. Student support is what differentiates our college from the many options students have in higher education today, and this is yet another effort that will set Nunez apart in how we educate and engage with our community.”
Excelencia is honored to make common cause with the action-oriented, trendsetting presidents and chancellors who have answered our national call to accelerate Latino student success in higher education and ensure America’s future.
