What does it mean to be a Hispanic-serving institution? Based on the work of Dr. Gina García, a leading HSI scholar, a campus that embodies the spirit of “servingness” will:
produce equitable academic and non-academic outcomes for underrepresented students;
foster positive campus experiences that connect to students’ and employees’ cultural identities and promote a sense of belonging;
integrate culturally responsive practices, policies, decision-making processes, programs, and curricula into the organizational structure; and
connect with external entities, such as national organizations and government offices, to advocate for policies and funding that will support historically marginalized students.
