Thanks to all our sponsors, partners, exhibitors, advertisers and the Host and Advisory Committee here in San Diego for helping us make this conference a success. 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. I hope that you connect with colleagues from colleges and universities across the country, visit with agencies and organizations who share our mission, and gain fresh ideas and energy to champion Hispanic higher education success. Flores President and CEO
Welcome from the President and CEO
n behalf of the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities, welcome to the 36th Annual Conference, “Championing Hispanic Higher Education Success: Rebuilding a More Resilient and Inclusive America.” We are especially delighted to be hosting our Annual Conference in person for the first time in three years. This year also marks two 30-year anniversaries - the federal designation of the HispanicServing Institutions through the Reauthorization of Higher Education Amendment of 1992 and that of the HACU National Internship Program. We are thankful to all our partners and supporters who have joined us in our advocacy efforts.
The Opening Plenary will feature an update on the State of HACU. The International Plenary will address the important topic of “Resilience, Recovery and Retooling in Post-Pandemic Higher Education: Lessons Learned and Applied in Diverse International Settings.” The Town Hall will feature a panel of Fortune 500 energy company CEOs and university leaders discussing the topic, “The Synergies of HSIs and Latino/as in Clean Energies: Making America the Powerhouse of the World’s Economic Prosperity.”
We hope all the activities planned for the next few days will provide a wealth of information, as well as opportunities to connect and network with other higher education professionals. The conference workshops and pre- and post-conference events address topics of relevance to HSIs, emerging HSIs and HispanicServing School Districts, as well as those organizations and institutions who partner with them. We thank those institutions and partners that have sponsored students to participate HACU ¡Adelante! Leadership (Student Track), which provides college students with important sessions and networking opportunities for their future careers.
During the conference, HACU will recognize those individuals, institutions and organizations who have made a difference in Hispanic higher education and have supported our work unhesitatingly. You will have a chance to meet the 2022 honorees when we recognize and celebrate them during our luncheons.

A hallmark of our conference is the HACU ¡Adelante! Leadership Institute, which draws college students from a wide range of academic disciplines to participate in career and leadership development activities.
The Exhibit Hall, a perennial favorite of the Annual Conference, offers networking as well as career and educational advancement opportunities. As part of our local community outreach, the exhibit hall will be open to the public on Sunday for a College and Career Exploration Fair, featuring workshops on college readiness and career preparation for both students and their families.

This session will provide an overview of funding opportunities from various NSF directorates related to broadening participation in STEM and increasing diversity in research. Participants will also learn tips on how to align their diversity, equity, and student success initiatives with the NSF merit review criteria.
The Community College of Aurora received a Title V grant in 2019 to support and promote CCA’s HSI designation. One main objective was the creation of student-centered programming to support their holistic success, though, since the inception of our grant, we have been faced with several hurdles. This presentation will provide both qualitative and quantitative equity data to highlight how and why maintaining effective campus partnerships has been crucial during times of constant change.

This project centers the voices of graduating Latinx students as they reflect on their experiences at a Hispanic-Serving Research Institution. Students shared through a 2021 pilot survey the entradas that led to their successful navigation of university resources to academic success. Workshop participants will gain insight into exemplary practices for Chicanx/Latinx student success, as well as learning how to create tools and forums to listen more closely to student voices at their own institutions.
At Intervene K-12, we believe in building equity in education by focusing not only on high quality academics but also on providing students of color culturally relevant content and directing toward workforce readiness. School leaders can rely on Intervene K-12 to assist with measured academic growth and making tutoring accessible to all students. Our partnership with HACU is vital to ensuring that our tutors reflect the diversity and experiences of the students and families they serve. It also allows us to deliver tutorials in Spanish and support students needing English language support. Together, HACU and Intervene K-12 have created a powerful partnership that is unlocking the brilliance and increasing academic performance of K-12 students across the US.

This workshop will showcase the success of a pre-college program at Middlesex College when partnerships work through the support of local city government. Our precollege program, Success Bound Youth Leadership Academy, allows high school sophomores and juniors to take college classes, promotes a college-going culture, and provides leadership through civic engagement and paid internships. Our program has been able to provide a space for youth by partnering with local city government to explore college while in high school. The goal of the program is to advance our scholars in earning college credits and gain real world experience through our internships prior to graduating high school. This workshop details how the program came to exist with the support of city level government, and how you can work closely with your local government to create yearlong pathways to college for students in high school.

There is a lack of obvious reference to status as an HSI in many institutions’ mission statements and home pages, creating a situation where the HSI-designation of an institution may not be well known by its faculty, staff and students. A more obvious presentation might enhance student success. Research will be presented exploring HSI-identity expression at Texas HSIs. Interactive elements will explore identity presentations and potential steps to improve HSI identity at participant’s institutions.

Since 1992, the UT System LSAMP has provided highimpact activities to underrepresented minority students to positively impact the U.S. workforce through increased retention, graduation rates and degree attainment. As the number of alumni increases, social mobility has become an important metric to measure overall program success. This presentation will provide a greater understanding and relevant examples of social mobility to Hispanic students pursuing academic degrees in STEM disciplines.
Learning Communities at Hudson County Community College are designed to consist of small cohorts of students who are enrolled together in two or more linked courses in a semester. These classes have an academic coach embedded in them to assist students both inside and outside of the classroom, unlike stand-alone courses which do not have extra support embedded in the course. Research and data have shown that students enrolled in a Learning Community build a positive rapport with their classmates and have higher success rates.

In 2021, UNM-Valencia established the PASOS Resource Center, an on-campus hub that provides comprehensive interpersonal and basic needs support for students. We will provide an overview of the theoretical frameworks and guiding principles that inform the center’s mission and approach to serving students, including the Peer Educator” program model that is key to the success of the center.

Closing Equity Gaps and Raising Graduation Rates for Latinx Students
Launched in 2015, Graduation Initiative 2025 is the California State University’s flagship student success effort to close equity gaps and improve graduation rates for students from all backgrounds. But the global public health crisis threatened to derail progress and exacerbate painful inequities for Latinx students. As we emerge from the pandemic, the CSU has rallied its 23 campuses and targeted resources toward a fivepoint action plan aimed at erasing equity gaps once and for all.

Learn how Arizona State University and UCLA leverage their capacity as R1, land-grant institutions to advance equitable, data-informed policymaking and governance that centers Latinos and expands opportunity for all. Presenters will highlight how faculty research is made actionable in partnership with elected officials and other civil society leaders.
Do you wonder what specific metrics you can use to assess whether your institution is serving Hispanic students rather than enrolling them? We present the results of a project funded by the National Science Foundation, involving practitioners and scholars of HSIs who collaboratively developed metrics across five areas: institutional success; student success; faculty success; community engagement; and research, scholarship and creative activity. You will learn how to apply these metrics at your institution.

Anatomy and Physiology has been identified as the number one obstacle for persistence in the health professions programs at Mercy College, a federally designated Hispanic-Serving Institution. Through a grant from the U.S. Department of Education’s Developing Hispanic Institutions program aimed at improving academic outcomes for low-income and Hispanic students in health professions programs, we have scaffolded opportunities for inclusion and resilience in A&P before, during and after the conclusion of the semester.
This presentation aims to show good practices on inter-institutional partnerships and beneficial bilateral international cooperation by providing an overview of cooperative initiatives between Universidad Iberoamericana, UNIBE, Dominican Republic and Western Michigan University. Over the last decade, relevant and high-impact initiatives have been developed under the UNIBE-WMU partnership at the undergraduate and doctoral level. These initiatives have been transformative to both institutions and communities, having solidified the relationship between the two countries.
