Lessons from a Latino Professor at an HSI Community College
2026-06-05 08:30 - 10:00 (America/New_York) | Virtual
HSI-PLC SESSION – LESSONS FROM A LATINO PROFESSOR AT AN HSI COMMUNITY COLLEGE: The HSI-PLC is a monthly online community dedicated to shared learning and engagement around Dr. Gina Garcia’s framework of Latino Servingness. This framework is of critical importance to CT State Community College as we strive to become a system that more fully supports Latine students — and, by extension, all students — in reaching college completion.
The HSI-PLC grew out of CT State’s HSI Retreat held in February 2025, which convened 125 colleagues from across the state to share best practices and deepen their theoretical and conceptual understanding of HSI work. The PLC is also a Leadership Development Project of Dr. Madeline Pérez De Jesús and Dr. Manuel Gómez as part of their year-long 2025–2026 Fellowships with the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU) which concludes in June.
