Seventh Annual Deans’ Forum on Hispanic Higher Education
Tuesday, October 9, 2018
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 Seventh Annual Deans’ Forum on Hispanic Higher Education. The purpose of this special forum is to provide an opportunity for networking and discussion on issues and opportunities for the academic success of Hispanic students in higher education.
In 2015, over 59 million Hispanics resided in the U.S., plus an additional 3.3 million in Puerto Rico. This represents approximately 18.2% 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.
Please see below a tentative agenda for the Seventh Annual Deans' Forum, a post-conference event of the 32nd Annual Conference. Additional details about the 2018 Forum will be published here as they become available.
