Rising junior studies parental involvement in Latinos' academic achievement Angelica Acevedo '01 is one of fifteen students participating in the Ronald E. McNair Post-Baccalaureate Achievement Program at the University of Rochester this summer. Participants do research in their chosen scientific field--in Acevedo's case, psychology--and attend a "Culture of the Academy" course that discusses graduate study. At the end of the two-month program, students present their research results at a conference held at the university. Acevedo's research topic is "Parental Involvement in Latino Students' Academic Achievement." She is an active member of La Unidad, and says she plans to pursue a master's degree in social work after graduating from MHC.
