Episode #6: Brian Troyer on Demographics, Degrees, and Latino Student Success

In this episode of Raíces y Realidades, we sit down with Brian Troyer, Vice President for Enrollment at Marquette University, to talk about the future of higher education—and why Latino students are at the center of it.

By 2040, Latinos will make up 36% of the college-age population. That’s a major opportunity—and a major responsibility—for colleges and universities across the country. Increasing the number of Latinos with college degrees isn’t just important for Latinos—it’s essential for our region’s long-term success.

Brian shares how Marquette has become a leader in Latino student retention and graduation—and what it takes to support students from enrollment to degree.

Tune in for a conversation about data, strategy, and how we can all play a role in building a stronger, more educated Latino future.
