Dear Admissions Director:


In collaboration with the NYU Metropolitan Center for Urban Education, you are cordially invited to participate in the Nineteeth Annual Latino College Expo to be held on Saturday, March 14, 2009 at New York University, New York City from 12:00pm to 3:00pm.


We are very excited at this year’s event because the Latino College Expo will work in partnership with The Boys' Club of New York, A Better Chance, Arista Honors Society, The Wight Foundation, New Jersey Seeds, and other placement organizations. These programs have been leaders in placing some of the brightest minds into top independent boarding schools across the country. On the morning of Saturday, March 14th, 2009 at prior to the Latino College Expo Fair at 1:00pm these organizations will be hosting a Youth Summit/Leadership Conference from 9am to 12:00pm.


A select group of students (approximately 400) will be attending this summit from 9:00am to 12:00 noon. They will then gather for lunch and all will then be in attendance at the fair from 12:00pm to 3:00pm. This will be unprecedented, as this will be the first gathering of such a large group of tomorrow’s leaders. Since the venue will be more intimate and the students in attendance will represent the leaders of their school community, we will be limiting the colleges in attendance to 50 to 75. So, with that said I ask that you strongly consider registering as this will be a gathering of some outstanding students of color who are attending some of the most competitive schools across the country.


The selectivity and nature of this event has increased our alliance for outreach with the New York Daily News, The families of the New York City Hispanic Police Chapter, the Hispanic Scholarship Fund, The Boys’ Club of New York’s Independent School Placement Program, the Department of Education, the College Access Consortium of New York (CACNY) and the New York Knickerbockers Office of Community Outreach.

Please complete the registration form and return by March 6, 2009. For more information, please call Antonio Aponte (212) 677-1108, ext.1156 or visit our web site at www.LatinoCollegeExpo.org
