EDP University launched a $3 million, five‑year Title V EHSAS initiative aimed at boosting retention and graduation for low‑income Hispanic students, deploying institutional capacity building across infrastructure, faculty development and student supports. In parallel, LaGuardia Community College reported that an AI social‑capital bot helped students build professional relationships and led to a measurable increase in job offers for participating cohorts. Both projects underscore how federal Title V funding and campus AI innovations can be paired to target workforce outcomes and equity for Hispanic‑serving institutions. Administrators will watch whether these pilots can be replicated at scale while maintaining data privacy and evidence‑based evaluation.
