2017 Hispanic Education Conference

Welcome!

I am so glad that you are part of the 33rd Annual Hispanic

Education Conference today. The faculty, staff, and

students of Modesto Junior College join me in welcoming

you to campus and invite you to spend the day exploring

different educational and career opportunities. Making a

college decision can be stressful and filled with questions.

Today, we are excited to present answers and share a

glimpse of the wide variety of options available at MJC.

The workshops today will provide information on college application, financial

aid, and planning your career path. Your college choice has an impact not just on

your future, but that of your family as well. As the mother of two recent college

graduates, I am very well aware of the change that college brings to the student

and family. I encourage you to explore and find the college that is the best fit for

all involved.

At MJC, the wide range of high quality educational and career technical training

programs are designed with you in mind. Our student support programs are

focused on your educational success. I hope you enjoy the day and consider MJC

as you plan for the future.

Sincerely,

Jill Stearns, Ph.D.President, Modesto Junior College

What’s HEC?Hispanic Education Conference

14) Education: The Grand Destination for Hispanics in the USA Armando A. Cervantes-Bastidas, Editor of Hispano Times Founders Hall 215 SPANISH Presentation In 1950, the Hispanic community in the United States did not exceed more than 1%. This percentage

rose to 10.2% in 1995, to 14% in 2006 and is estimated to grow to 24.5% in 2050. The most up to date information is estimated to reach 30% for the latter.

Hispanics are the fastest-growing minority group. It is projected that the Hispanic population will almost triple, from about 47 million to 133 million by 2050, which represents an increase of 15% to 30% of the total current.

According to the latest research, we are improving on education as a minority group. However, a low percentage for Hispanics students (relative to white or black students) attending primary education and university education and political representation still exists.

The current social situation in the country require that Hispanics be better prepared educationally. Even more so now, so as not to be regarded, seen or observed as second-class citizens and that we should not only focus on simple services such as field work etc. we have the obligation to explore more: to be professors, engineers, architects, astronauts, etc.
