MILWAUKEE — The BLEST (Black and Latino/Latina Ecosystem and Help Transition) Hub at Marquette was developed partly from the experiences of Marquette Ph.D. scholar Raúl López.
The BLEST Hub goals to enhance “life outcomes for Black and Latino/a college students within the Milwaukee space by strengthening areas, initiatives, and connections that assist our youth during times of transition from center college via post-secondary completion and/or fulfilling secure employment,” in keeping with the web site.
López stated rising up on Milwaukee’s south aspect he confronted boundaries “navigating establishments of upper schooling, navigating areas like highschool, navigating a segregated metropolis.”
He used these challenges to tell his present work as a Ph.D. scholar. He began his program in 2020 engaged on a undertaking that will finally grow to be the BLEST Hub.
But it surely’s not only for the Marquette group. The hub additionally companions with UW-Milwaukee (UWM), MATC, MPS, and native, grassroots organizations to assist Black and Brown Milwaukee college students overcome boundaries to schooling.
He helped develop a mapping system as an example the assets accessible within the Milwaukee group and the way they’re working to deal with a number of the wants of scholars of coloration.
“From entry to varsity, entry to monetary assets or educational assets,” López stated. “We discover that a number of the assets academically have an effect on a scholar’s pathway to varsity. So if they do not have entry to tutoring or easy stuff like testing or ACT prep, that basically can impression a scholar’s entry to as an instance a spot like Marquette or UWM or some other establishment within the metropolis.”
The Hub can also be devoted to understanding, figuring out, and serving to to search out options to the gaps in companies supplied to younger individuals in Milwaukee.
BLEST Hub school advisor Gabriel Velez pointed to disparities with regards to the punishment of Black and Latino/a college students at Milwaukee faculties.
“If you’re 6, 7 or 8 as much as a excessive school-aged child and also you’re going through suspensions, expulsions, particularly at undue charges, that is sending a message to you about what your future is like academically and the place you belong. It is telling you, you do not belong in these instructional areas,” Velez stated of the results of discrepancies in punishment at faculties.
Velez additionally famous one of many points the BLEST Hub analysis highlighted was an absence of sustainability for tasks and initiatives geared toward supporting Black and Latino/a college students.
“One of many points has been type of an absence of sustained accountability,” Velez stated. “Each every now and then there are actually attention-grabbing initiatives, there’s coverage that comes into place, or there’s actually progressive issues at a metropolis degree when it comes to authorities, however there actually is not a number of group and a way of constructing on every factor.”
That is the place the mapping system is available in, serving to to attach organizations already doing the necessary work of supporting Black and Latino/a college students in Milwaukee and ensuring college students learn about these varied assets.
Velez stated one of many positives to come back from the analysis is that they’ve seen “the Latino, Latina inhabitants, when it comes to these which have been coming from Milwaukee and accessing increased schooling, has been rising. I feel that speaks to a number of the actual power of the south aspect organizations and a number of the faculties.”
The BLEST Hub can also be working to assist Marquette in its objective to grow to be a Hispanic Serving Establishment, which is outlined as an undergraduate scholar inhabitants that’s 25% Hispanic.
López stated which means “fostering group for our college students and making them really feel like they’re a part of one thing greater.”
Velez stated that the college is nicely on its approach, however must transcend simply creating areas or teams which might be welcoming to Hispanic and Latino college students.
“A part of the problem is that these are simply areas nonetheless. If we actually need to be a Hispanic Serving Establishment and never simply an establishment with Hispanic serving area, we have to to consider how we will convey that extra broadly throughout the campus,” Velez stated.
Finally, the BLEST Hub is working to make sure all college students have a way of belonging in Milwaukee’s studying establishments and communities.

Here are our Milwaukee Brewers player grades for 2024
Here are our Milwaukee Brewers player grades for 2024, based on analysis by Milwaukee Journal Sentinel writers Todd Rosiak and Curt Hogg
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Jackson Chourio etched his name in the record books in 2024, at 20 years old becoming the youngest player in major-league history to hit 20 home runs and steal 20 bases.
But in the end, it wasn’t enough to earn him notice as the top newcomer in the National League.
Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Paul Skenes was named the senior circuit’s rookie of the year, earning 23 of a possible 30 first-place votes, with San Diego Padres centerfielder Jackson Merrill finishing second (seven first-place votes) and Chourio third.
Skenes, 22, went 11-3 with a 1.96 ERA and WHIP of 0.95 in 133 innings over 23 starts for a Pirates team that didn’t call him up from Class AAA Indianapolis until the second week of May.
Despite the delayed start, Skenes was the talk in baseball for most of the season, even becoming the first rookie to start an All-Star Game since 1995. He accounted for 4.3 Wins Above Replacement according to FanGraphs.
In 156 games, Merrill hit .292 with 24 home runs and 90 runs batted in with an OPS of .826 for a Padres team that finished with the same record as the Brewers – 93-69 – but in second place in the NL West behind the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Merrill, 21, also stole 16 bases and was named an all-star. He accounted for 5.3 WAR according to FanGraphs.com.
Then there was Chourio, who earned 26 third-place votes. Chicago Cubs left-hander Shota Imanaga garnered the other four.
It was a little over a year ago Chourio signed a record-breaking $82 million contract extension with the Brewers despite having never played in the major leagues.
He made Milwaukee’s opening-day roster out of spring training as the youngest player in the majors and then scuffled for most of the first two months before finally hitting his stride.
By season’s end, it could have been argued that Chourio was the Brewers’ best all-around player. In 148 games, Chourio hit .275 with 21 homers and 79 RBI to go along with an OPS of .791.
He also stole 22 bases and despite switching back and forth between right and left field was a net positive with the glove having been credited with 12 defensive runs saved and five outs above average.
Chourio saved his best for last, as he racked up five hits and three RBI in Milwaukee’s wild-card series loss to the New York Mets. He slugged two homers in Game 2, making him the fifth-youngest player in baseball history to go deep in the postseason.
Chourio’s WAR total of 3.9 ranked third on the Brewers behind catcher William Contreras (5.4) and shortstop Willy Adames (4.8).
Right-hander Devin Williams is the last Brewers player to have been named rookie of the year (2020).
Milwaukee’s next shot at a Baseball Writers Association of America postseason award comes Tuesday, with Pat Murphy considered a favorite to be named NL manager of the year.
