Oklahoma City's Emerging Hispanic Community: New Partnerships, New Successes
Kinders, Mark A.; Pope, Myron L.
Metropolitan Universities, v27 n3 p136-155 Aut 2016
The University of Central Oklahoma's new strategic plan sought to increase its connection to the emerging Hispanic community in Oklahoma City. Simultaneously, the Greater Oklahoma City Hispanic Chamber of Commerce was seeking a higher education partner. This case study describes resulting new programs for Hispanic students and businesses. The relationship inspired the newly formed UCO Latino Faculty & Staff Association to connect UCO to the Hispanic community while providing greater opportunities for Hispanic student success.
