Hispanic-Serving Institutions

"This book comes at a critical time for the future of higher education. As more and more colleges and universities become Hispanic-Serving Institutions, it is important for the higher education community to understand this new majority and provide an environment that will result in student success. This book provides examples of the organizational behavior of successful Hispanic-Serving Institutions and is a must-read for all in education."

-- Mildred García, President, California State University, Fullerton

"With the growing Latino population in higher education, this important and compelling book is essential reading for anyone interested in serving our nation’s growing and diverse student population. It is well researched, forward thinking, and links research to practice."

—Marybeth Gasman, Professor of Higher Education, University of Pennsylvania

"Hispanic-Serving Institutions is a cutting-edge examination of the issues and challenges facing these institutions of higher education. As such, it serves not only as a foundational primer for the uninitiated but most importantly as an essential referent for scholars and institutional leaders."

-- Arturo Madrid, Murchison Distinguished Professor of the Humanities, Trinity University

"Hispanic-Serving Institutions: Advancing Research and Transformative Practice fills a void in the higher education literature. HSIs are as important as other minority-serving institutions in their contributions to students’ academic and personal success. As such, administrators, faculty, and staff at HSIs and non-HSIs would benefit greatly from this text as it may assist in their work and professional development specifically focusing on this institutional type."
