Corporate outreach to Hispanic Students

Language can be a barrier to higher education, especially for minority groups. Such is the case of Hispanics in the USA that see dwindling number of enrollments in technology and science majors in US universities.
IBM has launched an initiative to ameliorate the problems that Spanish speakers face when interfacing with higher education. IBM has an Internet program called ¡TradúceloAhora! that it has offered to be used in several universities at no cost to help students and their parents to translate email communications.
In addition, some universities in Arizona, California and Texas have begun offering another IBM program designed to mentor Hispanic students called Cascade Mentoring Program which involves IBM employees and others as mentors for young Hispanics.
