The subcommittee for Retention and Support Programs has researched the proportion of Hispanic students, faculty, and staff at CWU, as well as the retention and graduation rates of Hispanic students. In addition, we conducted an inventory and reviewed programs at CWU that support and advocate for Hispanic students. We found that CWU has been intentional with developing, implementing, and enhancing programs in academics and in student life to provide Hispanic students with resources to successfully complete their degrees. This subcommittee report identifies existing strengths, gaps and provides recommendations that will help enhance our programing and retention rates of Hispanic faculty, staff, and students. Strengths Our strengths include departmental programming and initiatives that support Latinx students.
