The Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU) is accepting nominations for its Hall of Champions. The honoree(s) will be inducted during HACU’s Annual Conference in October.

Here are some questions to consider: Who are your heroes? Who has shaped the landscape of higher education for Hispanics? Who is working towards transforming and expanding opportunities for Hispanic students?

HACU inducts individuals to its Hall of Champions based on the nominations of the general public, which are then reviewed by the Executive Committee of HACU’s Governing Board.
While the four inducted Champions have had different career paths and accomplishments, they all share characteristics which truly define them as Champions of Hispanic Higher Education. Among them are: passion; vision; pioneering spirit; a lifetime commitment to education; and extraordinary contributions to Hispanic higher education success.

HACU's Hall of Champions demonstrates the organization’s mission of: improving access to and the quality of postsecondary educational opportunities for Hispanic students; and meeting the needs of business, industry and government through the development and sharing of resources, information and expertise.
