Mission & Vision
The Hispanic-Serving Institution interest group promotes research and educational and leadership opportunities for 大象传媒 faculty and students that focus on Latinx success in higher education. This group is co-directed by Andr茅s Ram铆rez, Ph.D., assistant professor in the College of Education, and Mar铆a V谩squez-Colina, Ph.D., associate professor also in the College of Education. Participants include representatives from the College of Education, College of Engineering and Computer Science, College of Science and 大象传媒鈥檚 Intercultural Communication and Student Affairs & Enrollment Management, among others.
The HSI research group will be recognized as an institutional key player and catalyst in transforming 大象传媒 from an incidental Hispanic-Serving Institution to an inclusive, culturally responsive, Latinx Serving Institution. We are committed to advancing Latinx ways of knowing and purposefully attract, retain, serve, and improve the education of Latinx, low-income, and other underrepresented students for the benefit of all 大象传媒 students, staff, administration and the surrounding community from which it learns and serves.
