Prof. Dr. Wowek Sean Kearney

 

ABSTRACT:

This paper provides an overview of the development, refinement, and implementation of a new model for P-20 partnerships for graduate degree attainment.  The model was implemented at a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) of higher education in South Texas in partnership with 11 local majority-minority education agencies. Important examination of the role of professor as recruiter are discussed.  Findings indicate this may be a viable model for other universities interested in promoting graduate degree attainment to consider.
