Recognized in 2008, by Excelencia in Education as an Example of Excelencia, the College Academy for Parents is a bilingual college access program that engages local elementary school families in the 12-week development of a plan for college. One of the unique components of this initiative is faculty presentations in which half of the workshops are dedicated to having University of Arizona faculty facilitate conversations, or platicas, on the core academic subject areas required for admission to the university. A program overview will be provided, with emphasis placed on faculty experiences in engaging the funds of knowledge of parents and the role of faculty in the university’s land grant mission.

- Rudy B. McCormick, Director, Early Academic Outreach
