UVU is committed to improving services and informing policy decisions concerning access to higher education for the Latino population.
Since its inception in 2007, the Latino Initiative has increased UVU's Latino student enrollment headcount by 398% and its Latino graduation headcount by 724%. UVU has the largest Latino student enrollment headcount as a 4-year higher education institution in Utah. Most of the students served will be the first in their families to graduate from college.
The Latino Initiative engages students, parents, K-12 educators, and community leaders in dialogues, programs, resources, and services to advance UVU's Latino student population.
*The term "Latino" is inclusive to all gender and identities.
