Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs) role in the development of Latinx student leaders

Abstract

According to the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities, Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs) are defined as colleges, universities, or system/districts where total Hispanic enrollment constitutes a minimum of 25% of the total enrollment. Due to the enrollment dependent nature of HSIs, an institution's designation may change over time. This article will include a discussion of how HSIs develop campus cultures that go beyond their designation to support the leader development of students.
