Mirando Adelante Welcomes Latino Students to Boise State Oct. 12

More than 400 Latino students from area high schools will visit the Boise State campus Oct. 12 for Mirando Adelante, a campus visitation program hosted by the Office of Admissions to encourage students to “look ahead” to a college education.

Through hip-hop music and break-dancing, special guest lecturer Patrick Perez will share his unique perspective on achieving goals and overcoming obstacles. Students will also attend an academic fair, get tips from Boise State students on being successful, learn about scholarships, and enjoy a dance.
