Hispanic Mother-Daughter Program 40th Anniversary - Dec. 5, 2024

The Hispanic Mother-Daughter Program celebrated its 40th anniversary at ASU. HMDP began as an early-outreach middle and high school program designed to increase the number of first-generation Arizona students who are qualified and prepared to enroll at ASU. A program of ASU’s Educational Outreach and Student Services that was founded in 1984, HMDP has a legacy of supporting Hispanic mothers and daughters. However, as the issue of attainable college is not limited to one community, the program has since opened its doors to extend its charter and broaden its resources. Today, the program seeks to accept all students who identify as being a future first-generation college student with an aspiration to attend ASU. A beautiful medley of mariachi music brightened the morning prior to the celebration. Guests enjoyed seeing historic photos, honors and recognition presentations, and hearing University Provost Nancy Gonzales share a personal story about her life as an undergraduate at ASU.
