Dear Admissions Director:
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
