COLLEGE JOINS POSSE FOUNDATION EFFORT TO ENROLL MULTICULTURAL
TEAMS OF STUDENTS
KALAMAZOO (Mich.) – Kalamazoo College officials announced
today that 50 students from Los Angeles public schools will enroll
in the College through a partnership with the Posse Foundation.
Kalamazoo will enroll 10 “Posse Scholars” in five
consecutive academic classes, from the class of 2013’s matriculation
in 2009 to class of 2017’s graduation. Posse Scholars are
public high school students with extraordinary academic and leadership
potential, but come from groups that are underrepresented in American
higher education and are often overlooked by traditional college
selection processes. All Posse Scholars enrolling in Kalamazoo
College will come from Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD),
the public school system that serves the city of Los Angeles and
many other cities and unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County.
More than 72 percent of LAUSD’s nearly 700,000 students
are Hispanic, 11.2 percent are black, and 3.7 percent are Asian.
