On Thursday, July 28, U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona will travel to San Juan, Puerto Rico where he will provide remarks at the 93rd annual League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) national convention and exposition. The conversation will focus on the state of education in America.

Afterwards, Secretary Cardona will visit the University of Puerto Rico (UPR) at Carolina where he will tour the campus and participate in a conversation with UPR students about their experiences throughout the pandemic and how they have received support through Higher Education Emergency Relief Funds (HEERF) as they continue their studies. UPR used nearly $800,000 in HEERF funds to discharge student debt. Additional funds were used to modernize classrooms to improve broadband and technology services for students on and off campus, and improve safety.

Funding from the American Rescue Plan has delivered over $786 million to 104 colleges and universities in Puerto Rico including $11 million to community colleges. This funding provided through HEERF is one of the largest one-time infusions of funding ever provided to the territory's colleges and universities.

A press gaggle will follow both stops.

Please RSVP by emailing pressrsvp@ed.gov to secure your spot.
