ABSTRACT
Colleges and universities in many settings are already experiencing can influx of Latinxs 1 in their student populations. The impact of the Latinx infusion into higher education will continue to grow and become more widespread. By 2060, Latinxs will be responsible for 60% of the nation's population growth. Latinxs will move from being 17% of the current population to 31% in 2060, making them the largest minority group in the United States (Ennis, Ríos-Vargas, & Albert, 2011). Depending on a number of individual characteristics (e.g., time of immigration, precollege educational environments, extended family units, family history with higher education), these students may require paradigm shifts in the way higher education professionals have structured campus programs, written educational policy, and executed individual work with students in and out of the classroom.
