MESSAGEFROMTHEPRESIDENT

A

s the world has become more complex and interconnected, the challenges of leadership have also grown exponentially. We cannot address the issues that will shape the opportunities (and perhaps even survival) of future generations without visionary leadership rooted in foundational values and principles. That need for leadership not only exists at the highest levels of national governments, but at all levels, including our neighborhoods and our schools, in the most immediately influential aspects of our lives.

HACU has always been committed to the development of potential leaders, but this year we have begun an exciting new venture that puts leadership development at the forefront of our efforts. We are proud to announce the 24 fellows selected for the inaugural leadership class of La Academia de Liderazgo. La Academia is designed specifically to increase Hispanic representation in presidential and senior leadership positions in higher education. These exceptional individuals are already creating positive change in the institutions they serve – what the Academy will do is foster their readiness for positions at the highest levels of academia, to ensure that they in turn will nurture the next generation of younger leaders.

The article on page 8 details the launch of the program and provides a glimpse of those destined to lead many of our colleges and universities in the coming years. As is obvious, we have high expectations of this first Academia cohort and we are extremely grateful for the support they are receiving from their home institutions!

We also celebrated the 15th Anniversary of the Annual ¡Lánzate! / Take Off! Travel Program, bringing together HACU and Southwest Airlines staff with representatives from legislative offices, local San Antonio colleges and universities, the 2019 ¡Lánzate! National selection committee and 15 past recipients of the program. This program has done a great deal to provide support for those families and their college-bound students who struggle to maintain the strong ties of family over significant distances.

This issue also has articles from three HACU-member institutions on the success Title V grants have fostered among their students. You can also learn about the events of HACU’s 13th International Conference “University Resilience and Renaissance: The Challenge of Climate Change and Other Global Shifts,” in San Juan, Puerto Rico, where the impact of Hurricane Maria is far from forgotten. We also welcome our new HACU-members, and a number of new presidents and chancellors at present member institutions.

We hope you enjoy this fall issue of our magazine.

Cordially,

Antonio R. Flores President and CEO

Approximately 173 students from colleges and universities across the country are participating in HACU’s National Internship Program, serving in paid internships at federal and corporate agencies. More than half of the students will be working in the Washington, D.C., metro area and others will be at field locations across the nation.

The summer internship program runs from May 30 - Aug. 9, 2019, and June 12 - Aug. 23 for students that attend institutions operating on a quarter calendar. Visit HACU News at hacu.net for a list of participating students.

HISPANIC ASSOCIATION OF COLLEGES & UNIVERSITIES

HACU staff members were among the presenters at the second annual Hispanic-Serving Institutions Forum on June 14, 2019, at Hartnell College in Salinas, California.

The HSI Forum provided an opportunity for dialogue and collaboration between Hartnell, area school districts, and regional universities that strive to support access and success of Hispanics in higher education. Topics included local, state and national topics of importance for HSIs, and served as a discussion platform for regional HSI opportunities and partnerships.

Congressman Jimmy Panetta of the 20th District of California discussed the Congressional HSI Caucus and the role(s) of the regional HSIs. The Congressional HSI Caucus was reestablished by HACU to keep members of Congress and their staff informed about the value and impact of HSIs in their districts and communities.

Speakers from HACU included David Ortiz, Ph.D., senior vice president and chief operating officer from the national headquarters in San Antonio, Texas and Luis Maldonado, former chief advocacy officer from the government relations office in Washington, D.C. Ortiz addressed HSI trends and Hispanic student achievement data, while Maldonado provided an update on current legislative proceedings on Capitol Hill.

HACUNEWS HERE Act legislation introduced to support collaborations between HSIs and HSSDs HACU supports the HERE Act (Hispanic Educational Resources and Empowerment Act) that would create a grant program for partnerships and collaboration between Hispanic-Serving Institutions and school districts that educate the majority of Hispanic students.

The legislation was introduced by Congressman Joaquin Castro (TX-20) on July 18, 2019, with bipartisan support and more than 35 co-sponsors.

The HERE Act proposes the program at the U.S. Department of Education, authorized at $150 million, under Title V of the Higher Education Act. The program would provide support for activities between HSIs and what the bill defines as Hispanic-Serving School Districts. Supported activities include the following: •

Academic support to prepare students for postsecondary education, preventing the need for postsecondary remediation, and provide high quality postsecondary remediation when needed

•

Support eligible students through the college application and transition process

•

Addressing non-academic needs that serve as barriers to college enrollment, persistence and completion

Hispanics currently comprise 18.2% of the U.S. population, which is expected to rise to 28.6% by 2060. Since the majority of the Hispanic population is younger than 35, addressing the large achievement gap that Hispanics face in college admission and graduation rates is imperative.

Information about the bill and the call to action can be found online at HACU’s Advocacy Center at hacuadvocates.net.

Capitol Hill News As Congress approached the August recess, it had several pending issues including increasing the debt ceiling, finalizing a budget caps agreement, and approving a federal budget for fiscal year 2020.

Debt ceiling and budget caps The president and congressional leaders reached agreement on a budget deal that would raise the caps on defense and non-defense discretionary funding (NDD) for fiscal year 2020 and 2021, and would suspend the debt ceiling until July 31, 2021. If enacted, this allows the federal government to continue to meet its interest obligations, and ease passage of FY 2020 appropriations bills that can increase federal spending rather than contain the spending cuts required under current law. The NDD levels are lower than what the House had approved earlier in the year, meaning that some programs will get less funding than in the bills the House has already approved.

This deal provides a significant $24.5 billion, 4.1% NDD increase over FY 2019 funding and will allow the appropriations process to move forward.

Fiscal Year 2020 Federal Budget The House of Representatives passed most of its appropriation bills for fiscal year 2020, while the Senate has yet to pass any bills. The Senate was waiting for an agreement on the budget caps, which was reached on July 22, then will set allocations for its 12 government spending bills, and the House of Representatives will have to adjust its previously approved allocations. It is possible that the House will not draft new bills to replace the 10 appropriations bills it has already passed, but instead will negotiate compromises with the bills the Senate eventually passes. In order to avoid a government shutdown, an agreement must be reached by midnight on Sept. 30, 2019.

Higher Education Act Reauthorization Chairman Lamar Alexander and Ranking Member Patty Murray of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, have their committee staffs working towards reauthorization, but while progress is being made, several outstanding issues remain. Some of the biggest issues that make up the core of the overhaul are accountability, student loan repayments and campus safety.

One of the difficult issues being discussed is how to legislate on Title IX. Combating campus sexual assault has been a major priority for Senator Murray, and Senator Alexander pledged to use the higher education overhaul to try to address concerns from both sides of the aisle.

HACU Announces Fellows for Inaugural Academia de Liderazgo/Leadership Academy

H

ACU has announced 24 fellows have been selected for its Inaugural Academia de Liderazgo/Leadership Academy. The program is designed to increase Hispanic representation in presidential and senior leadership positions in higher education.

La Academia is a direct response to the declining percentage of Hispanic university presidents (from 4.5 percent in 2006 to 3.9 percent in 2016), despite the unprecedented growth of U.S. Hispanic college student enrollment.

Selected fellows will participate in an array of leadership development activities designed to prepare them for leadership roles in the full spectrum of institutions of higher learning, but with a focus on leadership positions within Hispanic-Serving Institutions and Emerging HSIs. The one-year fellowship program includes three seminars, with the first taking place in October 2019, in conjunction with HACU’s 33rd Annual Conference, “Championing Hispanic Higher Education Success: Meeting the Challenge of Prosperity and Equality,” in Chicago, Ill. The second seminar will lead into HACU’s 25th Annual Capitol Forum on Hispanic Higher Education in Washington, D.C., April 2020.

The third seminar will be held in late spring or early summer of 2020, with a focus on international collaborations.

More than a dozen nationally recognized current and emeriti presidents and senior-level administrators will serve on the faculty. Mentorship with a university president will be a key component, as will the development of a special project designed to have an impact at the fellow’s current institution.

Title V grant making a difference for students in Information Technology

The University of New Mexico-Valencia Campus was awarded a U.S. Department of Education Title V grant in 2015. One of the goals was to update the Information Technology program at UNMValencia Campus. The following fall, the revised program was approved, and the university became an Oracle Academy, CISCO Academy and a VMware Academy. The campus later added the Red Hat Academy.

This success story is about Cinthia Vigil, who came to study Information Technology with her husband’s encouragement. Vigil's husband, David, also a UNM-Valencia student, works in IT and she would help him with his projects. He suggested that she go to school to learn about computers. “You’re good at it,” he told her. In the fall of 2017, she started in the IT program at UNM-Valencia. One of her first IT classes was the hardware class — she was hooked. She said she loves taking computers apart and re-building them.

The Instructional Technology program was quite a change for Vigil.

Prior to coming to UNM-Valencia, she worked as an administrative/ chiropractic assistant, for an online company for eight years and was a hairdresser for 15 years. Going back to school had its challenges.

She had some health issues and financial struggles to overcome.

While she attended school full-time and cared for six children, she was unable to work outside the home, but her excellent grades earned her a STEM scholarship.

HISPANIC ASSOCIATION OF COLLEGES & UNIVERSITIES

Vigil completed her associate degree in Information Technology with a 4.09 GPA in December. She was also awarded three minicertificates which were created during her first year in college. The mini-certifications are focused on Networking and Linux, PC Operating Systems and VMware, and are UNM-Valencia awarded certifications.

Vigil's goals are to complete her bachelor’s degree and perhaps a master’s. She would like to become an IT instructor and teach at a community college like UNM-Valencia. When asked about how her education has affected her personal life, she said her husband used to talk about work and she didn’t understand a word he said.

Now when he tells her that “there was a DDoS attack in Tokyo,” she knows exactly what he’s talking about.

Vigil advises students to research the type of work and career they want. This is an associate degree program; to go further, a bachelor’s degree is needed. Students might want to major in Computer Science or take a liberal arts program that has a built-in concentration in IT. The University of New Mexico is working toward such a program.

Vigil added, “Plan on learning things that are hard and some things you have no interest in. It’s worth it though. Last but not least, get certifications and master at least one technology.” In addition to her full load, Vigil worked with her IT instructor to learn Python — a valuable computer language — on her own.

UNM-Valencia wishes Vigil the best of luck as she continues her education toward a bachelor’s degree and finds employment in Information Technology.

‘Building Scholars Program’ Builds Brighter Futures for Students

Kaitlyn Michelle Morales may be from a small town in South Texas, but she’s got big plans for a bright future. That future has been realized through her participation in the Title V Building Scholars Program, funded by the US Department of Education under the Developing Hispanic-Serving Institutions Program.

Morales remembers her Building Scholars 2017 Summer Research Workshop at TAMIU well. “I collaborated with other professionals and enhanced my knowledge about how to integrate STEM disciplines into my future lessons as a mathematics teacher,” she recalled.

It has meant travelling 40 miles each way from her rural home to classes at partner institutions Laredo College and Texas A&M International University (TAMIU), where she earned a bachelor of arts in mathematics with secondary teaching certification. With each mile driven to and from Laredo, her dream drew closer. This year, the dream was made real: Morales will be a Jim Hogg County Independent School District high school mathematics teacher. And she’s insisting on growing her love for learning.

The SRW is a vital component of the Building Scholars Program and some 110 SRW students have been served since 2015. After completion, participants’ plans to perform undergraduate research increased by 43%, to a phenomenal 87%. At TAMIU, programs like Building Scholars are credited with increasing the university’s four-year graduation rate.

“It felt so amazing to walk the stage and move my tassel from right to left,” she recalled of her TAMIU graduation, “But don’t be fooled… this will not be the end of my college experience. I plan to return to earn a TAMIU master’s in mathematics,” she confirmed.

Kaitlyn is representative of Building Scholars’ students targeted for success: young, low-income Hispanics, most the first in their family to attend college. Because of its proximity to Mexico, 26.6% of Laredo residents are foreign-born, 95.4% are Hispanic or Latino and 90% are Spanish-speakers.

The program engages and retains Hispanic students by implementing well-designed activities through freshman seminars, undergraduate research across disciplines, faculty support and development, student tracking software, and a Summer Research Workshop. The TAMIU Building Scholars program is currently in its fifth and last year of implementation, with a possible one-year, no-cost extension

Morales' dogged determination impressed her faculty from the start, and they encouraged her to pursue and secure the prestigious Robert Noyce Mathematics Teacher Scholarship.

“The Noyce Scholarship was a major help; it gave me the opportunity to fully focus on my studies. It also opened doors for me. For example, I was able to experience many research camps and preprofessional development conferences,” she said. She also got the opportunity to spend a week at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas.

Morales is thankful for her Building Scholars Program experience, and looking forward to her first classroom as a teacher this fall. “Not only am I nervous to begin the first chapter of my career, but I am excited and ready for the challenge,” she stated.

Whittier College

ADVANCING STEM ACADEMIC PROGRAM Whittier College was awarded a U.S. Department of Education Title V designated grant in 2015 to support the success of underrepresented students in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math, and to enhance the college’s instructional and research capacity in STEM. With the support of this grant, Whittier established ASAP, the Advancing STEM Academic Program, which has worked with close to 300 students interested in STEM field careers.

ASAP works collaboratively with the college’s Center for Advising and Academic Success and Center for Career and Professional Development to support the academic and professional growth of STEM students, helping them identify campus resources, and secure research and internship opportunities. Via this partnership, ASAP has implemented an adaptation of a proven internship program for students, focusing on internships in traditional STEM disciplines and pre-health, dedicated advising, and a course designed to help equip students to succeed in STEM. Up-to-date learning and research environments are essential to ensure talented student researchers can reach their full potential. The grant also provides for the needed equipment and supplies to support these students. The equipment factors into the 2016 renovation of the Science & Learning Center. All combined, these elements have strengthened Whittier’s support for students underrepresented in STEM and increased their success, particularly those who are Latinx, low-income, and/or first generation.

Monique Perez is one student who has benefited from the ASAP program. Perez, a biology major, is a first-generation college student who emigrated to the United States with her family from Mexico. As a junior, she was selected as one of 30 students invited to attend the UC Davis Neuroscience Initiative to Enhance Diversity, which aims to encourage undergraduate students to pursue a Ph.D. in neuroscience.

This summer, Perez is at Kettering University conducting research on environmentally friendly superheated and supercritical fluids to extract medicinal compounds from plants.

Another student who has jump-started his career through the ASAP program is Carlos Heredia-Viteri. Heredia-Viteri is participating in the Biomedical Education Pipeline Initiative Program at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center this summer. He is working with a team to create a webbased data portal that encapsulates research related to ovarian cancer. “The portal will help guide people by research theme or different data classes, and will contain images and brief summaries that are understandable to the public,” said Heredita-Viteri of the project. “We will also have web pages with summaries of each study and links to online data available for research. This will ultimately provide a template for other major projects at Cedars-Sinai’s Center for Bioinformatics and Functional Genomics.”
