CALEDONIA TOWNSHIP, Mich — Davenport University is launching a first-of-its-kind bilingual program.

Known as “Casa Latina,” the initiative uses 12 currently offered degree programs to integrate with Spanish via online schooling.

“We need to make sure that this region has the proper infrastructure and structures to be able to continue to provide the resources that these Latino communities need for the future,
Guillermo Cisneros, President/CEO of West Michigan Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.

Coming to fruition this fall, the program will be completely online. Using a mix of English and Spanish speaking educators, the program hopes to bring more Spanish speakers to higher education.

“The opportunities that we have if we train this next generation of Latinos are endless," said Guillermo Cisneros, the Executive Director of Casa Latina.
