April 2, 2025
The St. Philip’s College (SPC) Student Onboarding and Recruitment department hosted its 2nd Annual League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) Partnership Events on March 20, 2025, for Highlands High School students and Sam Houston High School students on March 26, 2025. The partnership with LULAC is designed to introduce local high school seniors to the opportunities available in higher education.
The events started with a welcome from Andres C. Arredondo, St. Philip’s College’s Dean of Student Success, Enrollment Management. Students rotated through various information sessions covering the college's academic programs, support services, and career opportunities.
During this session, students gained insights into financial aid, academic advising, campus safety, and student resources. Additionally, attendees earned college credit for completing New Student Orientation, giving them a head start on their college journey. The events also included a campus tour, allowing students to explore the college campus.
The partnership between SPC and LULAC highlights a shared commitment to removing barriers to higher education and empowering students.
“The event shows that college is achievable for students,” said Interim Team Lead Dawn Lopez. “Being on the SPC campus allows these high school students to visualize their academic success and reassures them that they will have the support they need once they are here.”
