Abstract	With the assistance of the National Science Foundation, the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU) convened a STEM Task Force, a diverse panel of scientists and university administrators, to help develop a set of recommendations on both policy changes and high-impact practices to improve the participation and success rates of Hispanics in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. Hispanics continue to be underrepresented in STEM fields, both in undergraduate and graduate studies and in professional STEM careers. Hispanics make up 16 percent of the overall U.S. labor market and are expected to account for one out of every two new workers entering the workforce by 2025; 66,000 are turning 18 every month. The U.S. Census Bureau projects that Hispanic demographic growth in the U.S. will continue throughout this century, the persistent under-representation of Hispanics in STEM poses a serious challenge for an economy (and on national security) increasingly dependent on innovation in science and technology. This report sums up a comprehensive review of STEM education as it relates to Hispanics, one of the nation's fastest growing populations. A series of policy and practice recommendations are offered to provide stakeholders with strategies that can guide innovation and pedagogy from pre-kindergarten through graduate education. (ERIC).
