In her project, students and staff meet monthly to discuss current research trends that focus on the Latina/o student. Sosias will conduct research on areas such as Latino/a identity, bi-cultural Latino/a students, and retention and graduation rates of Latino/a students who are involved in PRLACC’s mentoring program.
