HACU 35th Annual Conference

Welcome from the President and CEO On behalf of the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities, I want to welcome you to the 35th Annual Conference, “35 Years of Championing Hispanic Higher Education Success.” We are excited to celebrate this milestone year of HACU’s founding in San Antonio, Texas and of hosting our premier conference on Hispanic higher education. Offering the conference once again in a virtual format is the best way for our institutions from across the nation and around the world to gather safely. We welcome all our participating institutions and supporters from the government, business and nonprofit sectors.

The Opening Plenary will feature an update on the State of HACU. The International Plenary will address the important topic of “International Education in the Age of COVID-19: Lessons Learned and Futures Imagined.” The Town Hall panel of experts will discuss, “The Time for Immigration Reform is Now: The Key Role Colleges and Universities Can Play in Shaping Policy.”

We will also present the HACU 2021 Awards to individuals, institutions and organizations who have made a difference in Hispanic higher education and have supported our work unhesitatingly. Please join us in congratulating the honorees on your social media platforms. Together we can amplify their contributions to education and to HACU. Over 50 conference workshops will address topics of relevance to HSIs, emerging HSIs and Hispanic-Serving School Districts, as well as those organizations who partner with them. We hope all the activities planned for the next few days will provide a wealth of information that you can take back to your campus communities. We encourage you to meet with the representatives from agencies and organizations who are at our Exhibit Hall and who share our mission of Championing Hispanic Success in Higher Education.

The HACU ¡Adelante! Leadership Institute will be offering workshop sessions for undergraduate students on leadership and career success. We thank those institutions that have students participating and those who sponsored student scholars in this unique and popular track, which fosters young people who are determined to build better futures.

A special thanks to our 35th Annual Conference sponsors, media partners, exhibitors, and advertisers for making this event possible. We appreciate the ongoing participation and support of HACU’s Governing Board, whose leadership and guidance are always invaluable to our conferences’ success. We also wish to thank the Corporate and Philanthropic Council for their contributions.

We are grateful that you are joining us to celebrate HACU’s 35th year and hope you will connect with agencies and organizations who share our mission and gain fresh ideas and renewed energy to champion Hispanic higher education success. We hope you and your families remain safe and we look forward to when we can meet in person again.

Cordially,

Antonio R. Flores President and CEO

35 Years of Championing Hispanic Higher Education Success

Welcome from the Chair On behalf of the Governing Board, it is my pleasure to welcome you to HACU’s 35th Annual Conference. We are confident that you will gain valuable insight and make meaningful connections throughout the next few days of conference events.

I am also pleased to welcome the many students from across the country who are participating in the HACU ¡Adelante! Leadership Institute, the HACU student track career development component, which is a hallmark of our conference. Through the years, this event has provided many college students with invaluable networking opportunities and the leadership skills needed for career success. A special thanks to all the institutions who made it possible for their students to participate and to the sponsors for making the event possible for these students.

Please take time to visit the Exhibit Hall to meet and network with the many representatives from agencies and organizations to learn more about their career and educational opportunities and resources offered.

We are excited that pre- and post-conference events will cover important and timely topics relevant to higher education.

The 20th Annual Latino Higher Education Leadership Institute will focus on the theme, “Leadership in a Time of Adversity.”

Featured topics will include helpful hints on how individuals can move up the ranks in higher education during challenging times and a Presidents’ Panel will offer best practices for up-and-coming leaders.

The Seventh PreK-12/Higher Education Collaboration Symposium will feature panel discussions on topics of college and career access amid the pandemic, the future of the teaching profession, school reopening and English language learners.

The Deans’ Forum enters its 10th year and will focus on the theme, “Deans as Transformative Agents: Improving Hispanic Graduation Rates, Fundraising and Industry Partnerships.”

We offer our sincerest thanks to all the generous sponsors, partners, exhibitors, and advertisers for their support of HACU’s mission and help in championing Hispanic higher education success. We also thank you for attending and hope you make the most of this virtual conference. We wish you and yours good health and all the best.

HSSD Roundtable Discussion: Buscandole la Vuelta: Effective K-16 Partnerships in the Time of COVID-19 For the last 10 years, Utah Valley University has provided the Latino Scientists of Tomorrow Summer Bridge Program, creating an opportunity for low-income and underrepresented Utah Latina/o/x high school students to explore science careers. The selected students complete two tuition-free science courses (Biotechnology 1010 and Geology 1010) in seven weeks. COVID-19 changed the world and how we interact with students and the community, the UVU Latino Initiative and the College of Science moved forward to offer the summer bridge utilizing an online synchronous modality by seeking COVID-19 designated grants to provide additional mentors, tutors, internet access and computer access. Components of the success teams included students, parents, teachers, mentors, and tutors. We had 44 students representing 17 high schools. These students obtained higher grades when compared to the nine previous face-to-face cohorts. We created an online space where students felt a sense of community, engaged with their peers and the faculty, and developed an interest in science fields.

Exemplary Collaboration Between Western Michigan University and Universidad de Burgos The International Center of Spanish of the Vice Chancellor’s Office for Internationalization & Cooperation of Universidad de Burgos offers a higher education training course in Spanish and Hispanic Culture for students of the Department of Spanish at Western Michigan University.

Digital Ethics in 2021: Excitement, Caution, Hope Ethical concerns related to technology innovation are hardly new. Today, however, the hype around educational technology innovation often masks nuanced, powerful, and sometimes grave ethical entanglements. With weekly headlines about privacy and other ethical ramifications of emerging technologies, concerns about digital ethics are critical for campus leaders to understand. In this session, John O’Brien will make the case for excitement, caution, and hope in this exceedingly challenging landscape–with higher education potentially leading the way.

Brian Lusher, Historic Preservation Officer, National Endowment for the Arts Championing Latinx Students and Future Teachers: A University-Schools Transformative Partnership This interactive presentation analyzes how one transformative university-school partnership program has been championing the success of Latinx teachers for over 20 years. We examine design and operational features, recognize how the partnership changes the status quo for future Latinx teachers, and invite audience discussion on sustaining mutually beneficial P20 partnerships.

John O’Brien, Ph.D., President & CEO, EDUCAUSE Next Generation Assessment: Emerging Landscapes of Assessment in Equity and Inclusion Recent events have prompted higher education institutions to evaluate their campus climate and equity issues.

Developing tomorrow’s workforce in todays’ Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs) Apple and the California State University (CSU) system, through a collaborative partnership, will be bringing the Global Hispanic Serving Institution Equity Innovation Hub to California State University, Northridge to increase student success and equip Latinx and other historically underserved student with skills for high-demand careers in S.T.E.M. In the last 10 years, the Latino workforce has increased by 36%; 58% in computer technology, 28% in healthcare and 27% in management, business and science.

Our panelists will discuss the importance of relationships between HSIs and industry and how HSIs are the key for future workforce diversification. Our panelist will offer insight on the creation of this hub, the need for digital skills by tomorrow’s workforce and how this project can impact other HSIs in the CSU system and nationally.

Moving Beyond Hispanic Enrolling While Becoming Hispanic-Serving This session is based on a two-year sustained study at a recently designated HSI in the mid-Atlantic region.

Data were collected and analyzed from semi-structured interviews with 3,000 Latinx students. This presentation will provide a blueprint for recently designated HSIs to begin systematically deciding what “Servingness” looks like at their institution of higher education. We also introduce the concept of Hispanic Equity, an ideal we argue is best measured qualitatively and through institutional advancement data.

The Latino Educational Model: The Force for Institutional Renewal Unquestionably, 2020 will be remembered as a year like no other. Despite the extreme circumstances and the severity of the impact imposed by the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic, the St. Augustine College community revived the spirit of solidarity, and faculty, students and staff reinvented themselves to keep the institution afloat. The Latino Educational Model emerged from the adversity of the pandemic as a force for innovation and renewal of the institution.

alamo.edu/spc St. Philip’s College, one of the oldest and most diverse community colleges in the nation, is the only college federally designated as both a historically black college and a Hispanic-serving institution.

The college was founded in 1898 with a mission to empower a diverse student population through educational achievement and career readiness.

Interstate Passport: Partnering Across the Nation for Transfer Student Success Interstate Passport is a nationwide program that reimagines transfer by ensuring acceptance of a block of general education coursework on shared learning outcomes rather than on specific courses and credits. It promotes student success by preventing loss of credit in transfer. Find out why this program is needed, how it works, and what it means for the students of two Hispanic-Serving Institutions: a community college in California and a four-year institution in Colorado.

10:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.

International Plenary International Education in the Age of COVID-19: Lessons Learned and Futures Imagined This plenary session will feature a panel of college and university presidents from different types of institutions to share how their campus has been dealing with the pandemic and, more specifically, how they envision continuing international education programs in the future.

Special Conversation with Dr. Cornel West Cornel West, Ph.D., and Rick Najera engage in a conversation about race by showcasing the overlap in experience amongst Black and Brown communities. Their shared feeling of being the other throughout their upbringing displays the numerous similarities between all people of color. Although there are specifics to each respective group, what connects all minorities is oppression and a distorted sense of belonging.

Imagining What Might Be Possible: Leveraging and Networking Through Grants NSF and USDA NIFA Program Leaders and grantees welcome participants to share their knowledge, expertise and ideas to imagine what is possible by working together.

Panelists will share the successes created by networking and leveraging knowledge and resources to maximize positive outcomes. Working with our federal partners, let us consider what might be possible by dialoguing and acting together using our imagination and creativity to champion higher education for all students, especially those previously disenfranchised.

Promoting Public-Private Partnerships in STEM with Advanced Manufacturing Access and awareness of next generation STEM opportunities for students forms through consistent connections between academia and private industry, with government funding often catalyzing these collaborations.

This session will provide an overview of current practices and challenges in building partnerships across the advanced manufacturing industry and how to coordinate efforts to address dated perspective and deficit of STEM positions fulfilled in the workforce of the future.

Workplace Learning: A Strategy to Improve PostGraduation Employment Employers expect college graduates to have career-relevant work experience. Alamo offers work-study students valuable work experience through partnerships with 100+ nonprofit agencies and private businesses who create and offer positions to students. Nonprofits hire students at no cost; businesses pay 25% or 50% of the wages, with federal funds paying the balance. Alamo also provides intensive workshops to prepare students applying for a variety of paid summer internships including Research Experience for Undergraduates, HACU and federal Pathways internships.

Jorge M. Leon, J.D., Partner, Michael Best & Fredrich LLP (@MichaelBestLaw) Reyes González, Ph.D., President, St. Augustine College What Does it Mean to Serve Hispanic Students Using Tinto’s persistence theory as a theoretical framework for this presentation, learning is considered one of the pillars to retention among Hispanic students. This presentation engages faculty members serving Hispanic students on ways to create a high Hispanic academic completion.

According to Tinto’s persistence theory, students gravitate towards an institution that promotes learning (Tinto, 2012).

More importantly, understanding the collective culture of Hispanics plays a key role in unleashing Hispanic students’ capacity to learn.

Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara’s Best Practices for Internationalization in 2020 UAG’s Office of Internationalization shifted its strategy from traditional mobility to Aulas Espejo (virtual collaboration partially inspired by the COIL methodology), in order to adapt to the turbulent times and travel restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. This ambitious approach exceeded all expectations and, in its first edition, nearly 2,000 students and more than 40 professors participated, this allowed for a broader number of participants to partake in international activities through a virtual model.

Leveraging Resources and Partnerships: Model for Community College Engineering Education Hostos Community College (HCC) created the NSF-funded Hostos Engineering Academic Talent (HEAT) Scholarship Program to support scholars as they progress from HCC to a 4-year institution to pursue engineering degrees.

Evidence of HEAT’s success include matriculation rates into 4-year engineering programs, such as Grove School of Engineering and Cornell University. The panel will share this synergy model that leverages resources within and between institutions resulting in significant impact on underrepresented students entering the engineering fields.

Wednesday, Oct. 27 4:30 – 6:00 p.m.

HACU Town Hall “The Time for Immigration Reform is Now: The Key Role Colleges and Universities Can Play in Shaping Policy” For over 20 years, the federal Dream Act has been introduced during each Congressional session, and comprehensive immigration reform has also been introduced routinely.

However, significant immigration reform has not been passed since 1986. The time for immigration reform is now. Many undocumented individuals in our communities are aging out of K-12 education, which underscores the significant need for higher education leaders and students to advocate on behalf of their education communities and their families. A panel of experts will discuss both the broader issues of how immigration reform impacts institutions of higher education, and how these institutions can become advocates for the many students, faculty and staff personally affected by the issue.
