NCLR is proud to announce that Janet Murguía, our President and CEO, has been awarded an honorary doctorate degree from California State University (CSU) Dominguez Hills.
Murguía is committed to high-quality education for the Latino community, and her involvement in federal policy debates is aimed at increasing education opportunities for our Latino children. This conviction is also evident in NCLR’s programmatic work with our Charter School Network, the Escalera Program, and Líderes Initiative, among others. Last Friday, the College of Business and Administration recognized Murguía’s work and awarded her with an honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters.
CSU Dominguez Hills serves a thriving Latino population in Southern California, and we couldn’t be prouder to have Murguía’s work felt throughout the area. She was joined by Dr. John Tracy, who received an honorary doctorate for his work in science and education.
“Both Dr. Tracy and Ms. Murguía have had impressive careers and serve as fine examples to our students of what they too can achieve with a college education,” said Mildred García, President of CSU Dominguez Hills. “We are honored to bestow these degrees on them.”
