We do so by collaborating with campus and community stakeholders to:

- Seek out, identify, disseminate, and utilize scholarship, evidence-based best practices, conceptual and theoretical frameworks that support our commitment to being a true Hispanic Serving Institution.
- Actively seek out opportunities to “center” Hispanic/Chicanx/Latinx experiences in the design and implementation of our systems, curriculum, policies, and procedures that benefit all.
- Promote, celebrate, and affirm Hispanic/Chicanx/Latinx culture in visible and tangible ways on campus.
- Promote and disseminate HSI-related events, grant, job, and or service opportunities among our community of faculty, staff, and students.
