As a Research 1 University UCSC expands our identity to be a Hispanic-Serving Research Institution (HSRI). Thus, the HSI Initiatives team which is comprised of dedicated scholars and practitioners is committed to creating systemic institutional change rooted in data-driven practices. We seek to contribute to the nation's work on HSI efforts via publications and conference presentations. We are proud to share the impact of our student-centered programs and services in a number of articles and publications that highlight our best practices and the outcomes of our HSI work that started in 2012.
