Moorpark College Committed to Serving Latino Students and Being an Inclusive Learning Environment for All
MOORPARK, Calif. - Californer -- Dr. Julius Sokenu, president of Moorpark College, announced his affiliation with the national Presidents for Latino Student Success (P4LSS) network, an initiative of Excelencia in Education—the nation's premier authority on efforts accelerating Latino student success in higher education. The network comprises presidents and chancellors who have committed to making their campuses learning environments where Latino, and all, students thrive.
Excelencia formed P4LSS in 2014 to support institutional leaders who are transforming higher education to make our country stronger with the contributions, skills, and talents of Latino college graduates. Programs and initiatives that work for Latinos can serve other students as well, and thus the nation at large.

"We are proud to catalyze and support them as they advance student success and grow talent for our country's bright future."
Dr. Sokenu joins more than 150 leaders that belong to the P4LSS network and lead the nation in enrolling and graduating Latino students.
