Our Intent
Acknowledging the under-representation of Hispanic youths in higher education, and seeing the need for role models, it is the intent of the NCSHP to develop and secure educational opportunities and financial support to improve Hispanic youth’s success and school performance.
Our Society is committed to doing the best it can to nurture our youth and provide resources to Hispanic students and their families so that they can succeed in education.
The NCSHP will try a variety of ways to sponsor educational programs benefiting Hispanic youth and to generate enthusiasm among their parents for the hard work that is necessary to succeed academically.
President'S MESSAGE
Dear Amigos and Members:
As a longtime advocate for the academic advancement of Hispanic students in the beautiful state of North Carolina, I am honored to be named the President of the North Carolina Society of Hispanic Professionals. I am very proud of the accomplishments of this society and intend to further them during my tenure as your president. In this role, I promise to expand upon current programs while creating and implementing additional programs for the benefit of our young Hispanic students. One such program is the Small Business Hispanic Scholarship Program (SBHSP), a program that will provide every Hispanic student the opportunity to pursue higher education, thereby fulfilling the mission of the North Carolina Society
of Hispanic Professionals of Promoting Education among Hispanic Students. And this is just the beginning. Being community-minded, I intend to lead in a way that brings recognition to the simple fact that, together, we can and will have tremendous impact at schools, in homes, and in the community at large simply by building relationships and obtaining support from our partners, friends, volunteers, staff, and board members. I aspire to be a president who dedicates herself to helping students overcome the obstacles in their path, helping them see for themselves the vision of a successful future. It is my promise to you that I will be the president that seeks to assist and inspire, the president who celebrates the ideas and accomplishment of others. I promise this because I know that it is only when we, as a community, work together that we can truly prove that real results - real change - can emerge from a small united society when that society works collaboratively and symbiotically to begat this change.
Sincerely,
Rocio Anderson
President
