Black and Latino/a students in Milwaukee face many obstacles in higher education and career success, and it is no secret that their outcomes in these areas are starkly different than their White counterparts. Still, there are also numerous organizations, initiatives, activists, and other actors working to bolster Black and Latino/a students’ success.  In this podcast, a CURTO team of faculty, graduate students, and community college partner discuss their work in this area with the Black and Latino/a Ecosystem and Support Transition (BLEST) Hub.  The conversation touches on challenges and opportunities in the Milwaukee area, as well as their emerging work and efforts to build a visual map of the ecosystem.
