LATINO COLLEGE EXPO & LEADERSHIP SUMMIT

The Latino College Expo (LCE) is your gateway to meeting admissions representatives from over 50 public and private colleges, universities and community-based organizations. Founded in 1990, LCE’s mission has been to «elevate the educational aspirations of the Latino community and all youth». What makes this event so unique and groundbreaking is the focus on building a stronger partnership between a student and their parents/guardians, and counselors. When those partnerships are strengthened and realized, the daunting process of finding and affording college will be minimized and success outcomes will be maximized.

The EXPO is comprised of many colleges and universities, New York City Community Based Organizations, and «Ask the Counselor» tables. Bring your school transcripts, test scores and list of extracurricular activities if you’d like to talk one-to-one with a college advisor. «Ask the Counselor» tables will be available in English and Spanish.

You are also welcome to the LEADERSHIP SUMMIT prior to the Expo in order to hear information and engage in discussions on various topics that will help prepare you for the college search process. (See below for more info)

LEADERSHIP SUMMIT 

(Seating is limited and pre-registration is highly recommended for each INFO SESSION. Please read the following Seminar descriptions below.)

The goal of the LEADERSHIP SUMMIT is to encourage all high school students, parents/guardians, counselors, and community-based organizations to participate in various seminars for college preparation prior to attending, and during, the 30th Annual Latino College Expo.

As you exchange thoughts and ideas to learn about effective academic and leadership strategies to implement at your high schools and carry on to college when you enroll, you can expect to be energized, challenged, and empowered. You will also have an opportunity to learn about topics that are significant to you. In addition, you will have the chance to meet with representatives from many universities. You will also have the opportunity to meet with community-based organizations that provide college preparation services and scholarship information.

Best of all, you will be able to broaden your network with students from other high schools and/or other programs. The information gathered during the LEADERSHIP SUMMIT will help with the college exploration process.

Doors open at 8:30am.
