Since the mid-1970s, the Latino college student population has increased fivefold, with one out of every five college students being Latino by 2017. During the same 40-year period, Black enrollment doubled. But the disproportionate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has reversed much of that hard-fought progress.

I cultivated a strong relationship with the professor, engaged with the material daily and spoke with students about their experiences. I was so immersed in this course that I began dreaming about factoring trinomials and the order of operations.
