Emerging HSIs: Serving Latino StudentsThe newly released brief, Emerging Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs): Serving Latino Students, focuses on the methods and strategies producing successful results at "Emerging" Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) -- institutions that enroll 15-24 percent and have the potential to become HSIs in the next few years. This brief, authored by Excelencia in Education and made possible through a TG Public Benefit Program grant, is the first formal appraisal of this important group of institutions and the role they play in serving Latino students.

This brief synthesizes national Latino trend data, results from a web-based survey and four case studies to examine Emerging HSIs' awareness of Latino students on their campuses and changes in institutional practices to better serve their Latino students while serving all students. The four Emerging HSIs studied in this brief include: Loyola Marymount University (CA), Palm Beach Community College-Lake Worth (FL), Texas State University-San Marcos (TX), and Metropolitan State College of Denver (CO).
