Research on the Condition of Latinos in US Colleges and Universities The purpose of this institute is to introduce participants to the current debates surrounding Latinos in higher education and to review the strengths and weaknesses of the research methodologies that have been used most often by prior investigators. The complementary aim of the Institute is to also make the participants aware of the many non-census datasets that contain information about higher education. A distinction of the Institute will be its focus on both quantitative and qualitative data sources. The training program will provide the participants with a policy-focused approach to education issues. The Inter-University Program for Latino Research (IUPLR) is hosting a 3-day research-training workshop designed to promote more quantitative and qualitative research on the condition of Latinos in US colleges and universities. Participants accepted into the program will attend a series of sessions led by experts in higher education and related fields that will focus on current policy issues, pertinent data sets, best practices, and new strategies. Special attention will be given to the power and relevance of employing mixed methods in future investigations. Registration and Logistical Information
