If you are from a CUMU member campus that is or strives to be a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI), please join us for an informal discussion on how we conceptualize and enact this work. Our discussion will be facilitated by Amber Gonzalez, professor at California State University, Sacramento, who also led a CUMU HSI Huddle in 2023. Potential topics of discussion might include innovative initiatives, centralized campus roles that focus on HSI work, achieving official designations such as the Seal of Excelencia, and other topics participants bring to the table. In this Zoom meeting, CUMU members will connect with others from our network, share what they are doing on their own campuses, and collect useful resources in a shared Google doc that attendees can take with them as a resource.
