“…Much of the research on HSIs has focused on the educational outcomes of its Latinx/a/o population (Cuellar, 2015;Gastic & Nieto, 2010;Nunez, Sparks, Hernandez, 2011;Sterns, Watanabe, & Snyder, 2002), the culture of these institutions (Laden, 2001(Laden, , 2004Dayton, Gonzalez-Vasquez, Martinez & Plum, 2004;Medina & Posadas, 2012), or the experiences of Latina/x/o at these institutions and how that may influence one's academic self-concept (Cuellar, 2014). While scholars have informed our understanding of the environments that are cultivated among HSIs, the research is now beginning to explore how the federal designation affects the culture and operations of these institutions (Garcia, 2017;Marin & Pereschica, 2018).…”

This paper examines the enrollment and completion trends of undergraduate and graduate Latinx/a/o students at R1 Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs). Using frameworks specific to understanding HSIs, we examine how Latinx/a/o enrollment has grown at HSI R1s, how these institutions communicate their institutional identity as HSIs, and how students grapple with this designation through student-run newspapers.

“…More than half of all Hispanic/Latino(a) students in higher education are enrolled in a Hispanic-serving institution (HSI; Gastic & Nieto, 2010). HSIs are 2- and 4-year higher education institutions with a student body consisting of at least 25% Hispanic students and at least half of those students must qualify as low-income.…”

Administrators at 4-year, public institutions of higher education commonly negotiate a balance between the oft-competing goals of access and excellence. This is heightened within minority-majority campuses, such as Hispanic-serving institutions (HSIs), serving substantial numbers of first-generation degree seekers and low-income students. Administrators are obliged to support the needs of a "non-traditional" student body, while they are simultaneously and increasingly called to innovate and support efforts to leverage institutional prestige and ranking. This article describes the case of an associate dean who attempts to advise a 7th-year undergraduate. Drawing from the insights of the student's tumultuous baccalaureate pathway, the contributions of a colleague advising students with similar challenges, as well as the demonstrated best practices of other HSIs, the administrator prepares recommendations for the institution's strategic planning committee.

“…Calderón Galdeano, Flores, and Moder (2012) state that the increase of this student population is not reflected in their completion rates, which are lower than those of their non-Latinx counterparts at both HSIs and non-HSIs. There are approximately 569 HSIs, and this means that Latinx students should have an opportunity to improve their academic plans (Arciniega, 2012;Excelencia in Education, 2021;Gastic & González Nieto, 2010). Torres and Zerquera (2012) and Venegas (2015) note that while not all states have Hispanic-Serving Institutions, many will begin to see a demographic shift as the Latinx population continues to grow, and this will mean an increase in the number of institutions that enroll Latinx students in significant numbers.…”

“…Murphy (2013) states that there are several areas that Hispanic-Serving Institutions must engage to increase the completion rates and educational attainment of Latinx students such as financial aid literacy and stronger transfer pathways. Gastic and González Nieto (2010) also argue that Latinx students enrolled at HSCCs "require academic and counseling services to improve the odds of their academic success and degree completion" (p. 836). Mentoring relationships between students, faculty, and staff through the development of a relationship-centered campus and employing community cultural wealth skills can help Latinx students academically succeed at Hispanic-Serving community colleges.…”

Latinx institutional agents: a narrative inquiry of how they employ their community cultural wealth at hispanic-serving community colleges in New England

Latinx institutional agents' contribution to the development of a student-ready and relationship-centered campus environment is integral to the academic success of Hispanic-Serving Institutions in general, and for this study, Hispanic-Serving community colleges. The presence of Latinx institutional agents is a reflection of an institutional culture that is committed to working with, supporting, and serving the increasing Latinx student population on their campus. Furthermore, the ability of the Latinx institutional agents to employ their community cultural wealth during their interactions with students help improve an institution's retention, persistence, and completion rate of this student population. More importantly, Latinx institutional agents' use of their community cultural wealth as well as support for their work signals that the HSI federal designation is more than a moniker, but that it emphasizes its identity as a serving institution. This study will focus on how, when and where Latinx institutional agents employ their community cultural wealth, an act that is often unconscious, yet rooted in their own experiences. It is does experiences that provide Latinx students access to the resources and acquisition of the tools and knowledge needed to navigate social institutions with which they are not familiar.
