Two students were awarded with the SDSU HSI Award at the 2022 SDSU Student Research Symposium.

This research of these two award recipients furthers our understanding of serving Latinx, Chicanx, Hispanic, Asian American, Native American, and Pacific, Islander students in higher education, or contributes to the commitment to honor our designation as an HSI.
