In Texas, more Latinos are enrolling into college than ever. Still, too many are dropping out of high school and ending their college education, pushed out by financial pressures and other issues. College administrators, community advocates and students from South Texas convene in a nationally-broadcast town hall meeting to address the aspirations and barriers to higher education for Latinos. Radio Bilingüe’s Chelis López hosts this two-hour segment of the forum in Spanish.
