SANTA ANA : College to Honor 400 Latino Students
Rancho Santiago College on Wednesday will honor about 400 Latino students who have distinguished themselves with high grades.
Honorees include students who have maintained a 3.0 or higher grade-point average, said Henry Kertman, a spokesman for the Rancho Santiago Community College District.
The ceremony will begin at 7 p.m. in Phillips Hall and feature Manuel Gomez, a vice chancellor at UC Irvine, as the keynote speaker.
Gomez is known for his work with the U.S. Department of Education to increase minority involvement in higher education, Kertman said.
A reception will be held in the Johnson Center after the program.
