Without a Heart, it’s just a machine. So in 1971, a little Heart built a different kind of airline—one that made sure everyone could fly. Everyone has important places to go. So we invented low-fares to help them get there. To us, you’re not 1A or 17B. You’re a person with a name, like Steve. Here, we think everyone deserves to feel special, no matter where you sit or how much you fly. And with all the places we’re going next, we’ll always put you first, because our love of People is still our most powerful fuel. Some say we do things differently. We say, why would we do things any other way? Without a Heart, it’s just a machine.

Championing Hispanic Higher Education Success: Fostering Excellence and Social Justice 1


@HACUNews #HACU2020

Welcome from the President and CEO On behalf of the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities, I want to welcome you to the 34th Annual Conference, “Championing Hispanic Higher Education Success: Fostering Excellence and Social Justice.” We are especially excited to be able to present to you our premier conference on Hispanic higher education, virtually, from wherever you are. This remote format will continue to promote the sharing of information and ideas for the best and most promising practices in the education of Hispanics and includes the regular lineup of pre- and post-conference events. You are among the many individuals joining us from institutions across the nation and around the world. We are thankful to all the support of the institutions that have made this conference a priority, as well as the individuals who represent them with their participation. We are equally grateful for the representatives from government, business and nonprofit sectors that are also with us for this event. The Opening Plenary will feature an update on the State of HACU. The International Plenary will address the important topic of “International Education: What’s Next After COVID-19.” A panel of experts will discuss, “The 2020 Presidential Election: Its Impact on Latinos and Hispanic Higher Education,” during our Town Hall. During these three premier conference events, HACU will also recognize those individuals, institutions and organizations that have made a difference in Hispanic higher education and have supported our work unhesitatingly. As we recognize the 2020 honorees, please congratulate and celebrate them in your professional networks and on your social media platforms. Together we can amplify their contributions to education and to HACU. During the three conference days, more than 50 workshops will address topics of relevance to Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs), emerging HSIs and Hispanic-Serving School Districts, as well as those organizations and institutions who partner with them. The ¡Adelante! Leadership Institute, geared specifically towards leadership and career success, will offer workshops for undergraduates as part of the student track. Many of the students are able to join us thanks to the support of their institutions that answered our President’s Challenge to sponsor at least five students to attend this unique Institute. We are thankful for their support, as well as that of our corporate partners for investing in our leaders of tomorrow with their sponsorship of student scholars. Through the years, this event has provided many college students with networking opportunities and leadership skills needed for career success. All of us at HACU appreciate the generous support of our 34th Annual Conference sponsors, media partners, exhibitors, and advertisers for making this event possible. We are grateful for the ongoing participation and support of HACU’s Governing Board, whose leadership and guidance are always invaluable to our conferences’ success. Although this will be a different conference environment, we hope that you will still use this virtual setting to form new and lasting friendships and connections or reconnect with colleagues from other colleges and universities. Please meet with the representatives from agencies and organizations who are at our Exhibit Hall and who share with us the mission of Championing Hispanic Success in Higher Education. Cordially,

Antonio R. Flores President and CEO 2

HACU 34th Annual Conference


Welcome from the Chair On behalf of the Governing Board, welcome to HACU’s 34th Annual Conference and our first annual gathering in a virtual format. The events featured will focus on relevant topics on Hispanic higher education and promise to be educational and informative. The conference includes the regular lineup of events that offer a variety of opportunities to learn and network with colleagues from around the globe who are dedicated to the success of our students. The Sixth PreK-12/Higher Education Collaboration Symposium will feature panel discussions on how collaboration can build pathways or pipelines from PreK-12 to college and career. The 19th Annual Latino Higher Education Leadership Institute will focus on the theme, “Developing Leadership from a Place of Strength.” Featured topics include helpful hints on how individuals can move up the ranks in higher education and a Presidents’ Panel will offer sage words of wisdom to up-andcoming leaders. The Deans’ Forum enters its ninth year and will focus on the theme, “From Hispanic Serving to Hispanic Thriving: A Blueprint for Success.” The HACU ¡Adelante! Leadership Institute continues to be a hallmark event of our conference, each year drawing more than 500 college students from a wide range of academic disciplines to participate in career and leadership development activities. Special thanks to all the institutions who made it possible for their students to participate and to the sponsors for making the event possible. The Exhibit Hall, a perennial favorite of the annual conference, offers networking as well as career and educational advancement opportunities, this time in a virtual platform. We offer our sincerest thanks to all our generous sponsors, partners, exhibitors, and advertisers for their support of HACU’s mission. They help us champion Hispanic higher education success. We thank you for attending and we hope you make the most of this virtual conference. We wish you and yours good health and best wishes. Sincerely,

How Non-Native Speakers of English Succeed in Bachelor Degree Programs Immigrant students who do not speak English as a first language (L2s) are a significant but understudied group in American colleges and universities. L2s face more learning constraints in college because they are still learning English. L2s are also less likely to graduate with a Bachelor’s degree. Low retention and bachelor degree completion are national concerns and imperatives. Findings that describe characteristics and teaching methodologies supporting L2s’ success in Bachelor degree courses will be presented.

Collaborating with non-profit agencies, Alamo Colleges places 12% of its work-study students with partnering community agencies. The Office also provides seven different workshops to prepare students to apply for a variety of summer internships. The Office has experienced success in guiding students to gain work experience, network with professionals, and develop an understanding of the professional work environment. Martha L. Trevino, Ph.D., Director, Office of Workplace Learning, Alamo Colleges District Enhancing STEM Success through Promoting Informed, Financially Literate Citizens Enhancing STEM Success focuses on the four years of collegiate experience as well as the three of the summers during the freshman through junior years of study. STEM undergraduates, particularly minorities and females, are intentionally exposed to interventions targeting 1) selfconfidence, 2) self-competence, and 3) financial literacy through small learning communities, mentored research, financial literacy seminars and embedded in FTIC/Transfer seminars. Thus, this proactive approach addresses topics and barriers typically stalling a collegiate career.

Research suggests that Hispanics are more likely to enroll in colleges over universities, yet in Florida there is no significant difference between college HSI’s and university HSI’s. In addition, given the high proportion of Hispanics in the state many colleges and universities are sure to be HSI’s within the decade.
