African American & Latino Male Initiative

African American and Latino male students are over-represented in developmental education and have significantly lower success and completion rates than other college students. In order to increase the access and success of these students within the Dallas County Community College District, Cedar Valley College collaborated with five other DCCCD colleges and the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) to initiate an African American and Latino Male Initiative (AALMI).

Cedar Valley College served as fiscal agent for the DCCCD award and the THECB grant. DCCCD award period: April 2009-July 2010 THECB grant period: September 2009-August 2010

Anna Mays, Vice President, Student Services and Enrollment Management at Cedar Valley College served as the principal investigator for the award/grant.
