Latino Education Institute (L.E.I)

The LEI accomplishes this by:

(1) Provision of Outcomes-based Development Programs in education, literacy, leadership, civic engagement and health.

The Latino Education Institute (LEI) at Worcester State University seeks to improve the academic achievement and well-being of Latino students (grades K-16) and their families from the City of Worcester. In 2011, the LEI operated five programs serving 1428 individuals. (2) Research and Policy Development. The LEI is frequently called on to provide expertise at the municipal and state level. For

example, we recently co-chair the Mayoral Commission for Latino Education Excellence and publishes a report recommending strategies to improve education in Worcester for Latino students. (3) Community Outreach. The LEI is an important and active resource for the Worcester community. Our recent community activities include, a Latino Family College Fair, parent academies, family academies and co-chairing a city-wide effort to improve services for middle school girls.

A few weeks ago, our LIDER+ participants spent an amazing day exploring healthcare careers at UMass. They tried their hands at surgical knot-tying, practiced ultrasound imaging, and met the incredible air ambulance team to see emergency medicine in flight.

Seeing our students step up to these clinical challenges with so much curiosity was incredible. Thank you, UMass Chan Medical School for opening your doors and empowering the next generation of medical innovators! 💙🩺

As our ENLACE participants prepare for their final presentations at our End of the Year Celebration, we held a specialized Public Speaking workshop to help them get ready for the big stage!

This exercise was tailored to create a comfortable environment where students felt safe speaking up in front of their peers. Our goal is to build lasting confidence so they can own any room they walk into.

We are so proud of our ENLACE students for pushing past their comfort zones. We can’t wait to see them shine at the final celebration! 🚀🎙️
