The Battle for Immigration:Â Legislation, Executive Action, and Unaccompanied Children IMMIGRANT INTEGRATION Room 515A

The underrepresentation of Latino students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education and careers is in large part due to a lack of access to opportunities that can foster access to a profession. The bad news is that Latinos represent just 7% of the STEM workforce. The good news is that this number can increase dramatically because Latinos now compose 22% of the K–12 student population.

However, this will happen only if schools, parents, businesses, and communities step up and support Latino students in embracing STEM education. In this town hall, join the discussion on why engaging more

The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) are changing the landscape of education by setting clear and consistent academic expectations for students at each grade level. By raising expectations for all students, the CCSS will level the playing field of education, improving learning outcomes for grades K–12 and increasing access to higher education without the need for remedial education. To ensure successful implementation of the CCSS, NCLR has embarked on a state-based campaign in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Louisiana, and New York.

The implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) represents a historic milestone in expanding the number of individuals with quality, affordable health insurance, including millions of Latinos. Although the ACA is a significant step forward, some people remain vulnerable to being uninsured due to various factors. In this town hall, NCLR will bring together a panel of stakeholders to discuss current and potential pathways to expand coverage to the remaining uninsured and the promise these innovations hold for Latinos. The panel will also explore lessons learned during the implementation of the health insurance marketplaces and how they will affect both current and potential efforts to expand coverage.

NCLR has developed Escalera STEM as an addendum to NCLR’s Escalera Program in an effort to boost Latino representation in the STEM workforce. In partnership with the Latinas in STEM (LiS) Foundation, this session promises to prove why a career in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) can be for you! The LiS Foundation, a nonprofit organization founded in 2013 by five Latina MIT graduates, will inspire and empower Latinos to pursue STEM fields. Through this workshop, students will gain exposure to careers in STEM, meet professionals in the field, and participate in an interactive hands-on activity. This workshop is relevant to Latino youth because it’s presented by Latinos for Latinos—it will showcase first-generation college students who have worked hard to do well and are now encouraging others to do the same.

By presenting tangible role models, we expect to humanize the STEM fields and inspire students to follow in our footsteps.
