Consejos: The Undergraduate Experiences of Latina/o Students
A Special Issue of the Harvard Educational Review

This Special Issue of the Harvard Educational Review considers the needs, interests, and experiences of Latina/o students currently enrolled in U.S. colleges and universities. It draws from the tradition of consejos—words of wisdom, honoring both the insights of our contributors and the personal advice of the Latina/o students whose stories the authors examine. Through six scholarly articles and eight personal narratives, this issue identifies unexplored questions, unchallenged assumptions, and new insights about Latina/o students’ undergraduate experiences. The result is a complex array of articles that presents a hitherto unequaled portrait of the experiences—the challenges, aspirations, frustrations, and strategies—that together mark the undergraduate educations of Latina/o students today.
