Summary

This chapter has detailed promising strategies and programs in cultivating dominant—or mainstream—capitals (Carter, 2005) for Latino students. Strengthening Latino students’ academic, financial, cultural, and nonfamilial social capital is essential for advancing Latino educational attainment. However, research grounded in Latinos’ cultural perspectives and experiences of the campus climate has demonstrated that focusing only on these types of capital is not enough. Rather, institutional personnel must also take into account Latino cultural orientations in approaches to promote Latino student success.
