In a nationwide effort, 20 colleges are working to increase the number of Hispanic doctoral students, as well as increase the number of Hispanic professors by 20%.
PUBLISHED 3:41 PM CDT Jul. 07, 2022DENTON, Texas — The University of North Texas is one of 7 Texas colleges joining a group of 20 nationwide to bring more people of Hispanic origin into research and higher education in the next 8 years.
At UNT, President Neal Smatresk underscored the importance of that second goal, increasing professors of Hispanic background.The UNT president said representation is really key in education, and creating mentors of all backgrounds that can better connect with underrepresented students is an important piece of the puzzle. He said most times, students they’re trying to reach don’t even realize that the opportunity is out there or that they can achieve it.
Besides researching, the two men said they now plan to pay back the mentoring they received by becoming professors themselves.“Makes it just a way of giving back, giving back to my own community,” added Robledo.
