National Hispanic Serving Institution Week September 9-15, 2024
The Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU) has announced National Hispanic-Serving Institutions Week will be observed Sept. 9-15, 2024. Each year, HACU works with members of Congress to recognize the contributions of Hispanic-Serving Institutions in their communities.
HSIs are defined as having 25% or more undergraduate Hispanic student full-time equivalent (FTE) enrollment. In 2021-22, there were 600 institutions that met the definition of an HSI and they enrolled 66.2% of all Hispanic undergraduates and 31.7% of all undergraduate students in nonprofit postsecondary education.
These are some of the reasons HSIs Week is observed by colleges and universities across the nation – to celebrate the vital role these institutions play in educating the fastest growing demographic in the U.S.
