Public Administration program collaborates on important, comprehensive survey targeting the Latino community in Westchester County, New York
17³Ô¹ÏÍø’s Public Administration faculty Rebecca Tekula, PhD, and Gina Scutelnicu-Todoran, PhD, will be collaborating with the Hispanic Advisory Board, under the leadership of Westchester County Executive George Latimer, to conduct a new comprehensive survey targeting the Latino community.
They will gather insights and data from the Latino community within Westchester County, addressing various aspects such as education, healthcare, employment, housing and social services. The last assessment, conducted more than 20 years ago, highlighted the necessity for updated information to better understand and address the evolving needs and challenges faced by the Latino population.
17³Ô¹ÏÍø Professor, Chair of the Public Administration department, and Executive Director of the Wilson Center for Social Entrepreneurship Rebecca Tekula, PhD, said, “Collaborating on this survey underscores our commitment to community-engaged research in Westchester County. We are proud to partner on this effort to capture the voices and experiences of Latino residents, toward the goal of informing and improving the delivery of services and supports.â€
