New Initiative Helps Indiana’s Hispanic and Latino Learners Obtain Education and Training Beyond High School

GEAR UP Indiana was recently featured for their new programming highlighting five Padres Estrellas or “Star Parents”. This new initiative will work with the local community to support GEAR UP college and career readiness goals. Indiana Commissioner for Higher Education, Teresa Lubbers, had this to say, “Hoosier students are becoming increasingly diverse and economically challenged and we know we must do more to meet these needs and close educational achievement gaps.” Get to know the Indiana GEAR UP Padres Estrellas here.
