8:00 a.m. - 1:30 p.m.
The Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU) invites college and university deans and senior administrators to participate in the virtual Ninth Annual Deans’ Forum on Hispanic Higher Education, "From Hispanic Serving to Hispanic Thriving: A Blueprint for Success". This dynamic forum provides an opportunity for participants to build relationships and share ideas that can have a lasting impact on Hispanic higher education and your campuses.
In 2018, over 59 million Hispanics resided in the U.S., plus an additional 3.3 million in Puerto Rico. This represents approximately 18.1% of the overall U.S. population. However, only 17.2% of Hispanic adults have a baccalaureate degree or higher, compared to 38.1% for non-Hispanic whites.
The Deans' Forum focuses on bringing diverse perspectives from renowned speakers who have hands on experience in implementing innovative and creative practices in educating Hispanic and other underrepresented minorities. Participants will not only have an opportunity to engage in dialogue with our panel of experts but will also be able to network and learn from each other.
Below please find a tentative agenda for the virtual Tenth Annual Deans' Forum, a post-conference event of the virtual 34th Annual Conference. Additional details about the 2020 deans' Forum will be published here as they become available.
