Hispanic Serving Institution Initiatives

Past Summits

2025 HSI Summit

Date: October 6, 2025

Location: University Student Union Ballroom

Theme: In Community, In Continuity: Sustaining Servingness through Collective Responsibility

Description: Servingness goes beyond HSI status—it is an ongoing practice and a shared responsibility taken up within each campus and, at times, collectively across institutions and communities. In a time of shifting priorities and new challenges, this summit invited us to reflect, recommit, and rise together. Through powerful dialogue, shared practices, and bold visioning, we explored how each of us—faculty, staff, administrators, students, and community partners—can sustain a thriving HSI that centers the success and lived experiences of our students.
