Nurturing a College-Going Culture

Advancing Latino/a Achievement and Success (ALAS) is an educational alliance uniting SJSU, the National Hispanic University and the Santa Clara County Superintendents Association, in a mission dedicated to the growth and expansion of a college-going culture among our Latino/a youth.

Spreading Information in a Biennial Conference

Every other year, ALAS organizes a conference highlighting programs and strategies that prepare and motivate our students and their families to overcome any barriers to their dreams of going to college. The video below features scenes from the Third Biennial ALAS Conference held in February 2012.

To learn more about the wealth of information made available to students during the event, examine the bilingual conference program (PDF).

The Next Conference

The next ALAS Conference will be held at SJSU in February 2014.
