HSI Steering Committee Announced |
Chaired by Tobias Guzmán, vice president of the Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and Kirsten Fleming, provost and executive vice president for academic affairs, the HSI Steering Committee builds on our efforts toward becoming Colorado's Next Hispanic Serving Institution, highlights the importance of cross-campus involvement, and is comprised of UNC students, faculty, and staff. The steering committee will meet on a monthly basis.

As UNC continues its journey toward becoming an HSI, we have a personal stake in networking with and learning from thought leaders at existing HSIs, and in vetting our practices and programming in preparation for the coming designation.
Attendance at this year’s conference gave us a great deal to think about, and much to celebrate as we prepare to become Colorado’s next HSI.

What does HSI mean at UNC? |
The University of Northern Colorado is a Students First university committed to serving Hispanic, Chicana/o/x, and Latina/o/x-identifying students, faculty, staff, alumni, the local community, and our region. Based on the principles of diversity, equity, inclusion, justice, and belonging, we will develop and implement policies, structures, and culturally responsive pedagogy and practices to increase the educational and career attainment, as well as social mobility, of these populations. Through the success of being a federally designated HSI combined with the thoughtful and intentional effort of servingness by all members of the university community, we will contribute to the success of every student while making gains in closing educational equity gaps present at our university. In addition, UNC will continue its long tradition of preparing and graduating leaders who serve and enrich Colorado's culture and economy. We know that doing so will positively impact people's lives and the future of our state.

Part of servingness is seeing your culture and people represented on campus. This fall, we had the opportunity to host programs, collaborate with campus partners, and create space for additional representation. Swipe through the photos to see what we were up to these last few months. ¡Vamos Osos!
