It is extremely well written. It seems like the natural partner for this type of program is the MNSCU system. Mankato has a strong k-12 education program and school districts and communities across southern MN are desperate for Hispanic teachers. Consider St. James, where 40% of the district is Hispanic, and yet the district can't even get an application from a Hispanic candidate. We'll get more Hispanic teachers when we grow our own.
