Hanging Out and Hanging on: From the Projects to the Campus
chronicles the progress of students from Hartford and Manchester,
Connecticut, who are enrolled in the Dual College Enrollment
Program (DCEP) at Eastern Connecticut State University. "Hanging
Out" sets the stage for describing the program by first reaching
back in time to tell of Dr. Nunez's own beginnings in Puerto Rico
and Newark, New Jersey, of her struggles as a non-English speaking
elementary school student and her triumphs in high school and
college. The next section of the book describes the lives of
Latinos in Connecticut and the social, economic, and educational
challenges they have faced over time. Her personal experiences and
desire to improve the lives of the underprivileged led Dr. Nunez to
create the DCEP Program. Through the words of faculty and staff and
the personal accounts of six DCEP students, you will read stories
of desperation and hope, of struggle and triumph, of heart-breaking
failure and stunning success. We hope their story can serve as a
model for other communities to follow.
