THE FUTURE OF LATINOS IN THE UNITED STATES: LAW, OPPORTUNITY, AND MOBILITY

VIRTUAL PRESENTATION

Defining the Future of UCI as a Hispanic-Serving Institution

Defining the Future of UCI as a Hispanic-Serving Institution will explore the campus’s efforts to establish UCI’s identity as a Hispanic-Serving Institution. As of 2021, there are 16 R1 Hispanic-Serving Institutions in the United States, with UCI among them. Additionally, of these R1 Hispanic-Serving Institutions, there are currently four (including UCI) that are also members of the Association of American Universities. Therefore, the campus has an opportunity to play a key leadership role in this area. This event will feature Assistant Vice Chancellor Sandra Campero as she discusses her work in promoting the newly launched UCI OC Alliance for a Latinx Thriving University as part of her responsibilities as Assistant Vice Chancellor for Advancement Operations. Additionally, the event will feature Dr. Joseph Morales’ work in the Office of Inclusive Excellence as Associate Director for Strategic Initiatives and Partnerships. Dr. Morales will share the Office’s goals for UCI as a Hispanic-Serving Institution, the Office’s achievements so far, and the Office’s plans for the future. Both Assistant Vice Chancellor Campero and Dr. Morales will offer ideas on how faculty, students, staff, alumni, and interested community members can be of assistance.
