HACU on the Road visits Mexico City

The Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities hosted an event in Mexico as part of its HACU on the Road visits. HACU has visited national and international campuses for over 10 years to speak to education and community leaders about important issues in higher education, and to highlight HACU’s programs and initiatives.

A HACU on the Road event was held on June 28 at La Casa de la Universidad de California en México City, Mexico, bringing together over 20 higher education leaders from the surrounding areas. Welcome remarks and a lunch were followed by a presentation from HACU President and CEO Antonio R. Flores highlighting key programs and initiatives of the Association. Cultural Affairs Officer Roberto Quiroz, U.S. Embassy, Minister Counselor for Public Diplomacy of the U.S. Embassy in Mexico Silvio González and Deputy Assistant Secretary for Academic Programs Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs Ethan Rosenzweig also addressed attendees, and closing remarks were given by President of St. Augustine College and HACU Governing Board member Reyes González.  

This is the second HACU on the Road event following the June 26 event in Guadalajara, and HACU’s Executive Leadership Seminar and International Symposium held June 19-23.

HACU on the Road is an initiative designed to promote national and international dialogue about the state of Hispanic higher education among chancellors, presidents of colleges and universities, superintendents of Hispanic-Serving School Districts, corporate leaders, and other supporters of Hispanic higher education.
