The Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) Research Colectiva is
housed within the UC Davis School of education and led by
Dr. Marcela
Cuellar, Dr. Gina
Garcia, and Dr. Rebecca
Covarrubias. The HSI Research Colectiva is a newly
established organization aimed to bridge, generate, and mobilize
research about HSIs in California to inform policy decisions and
improvements in practice.
The HSI Research Colectiva will host its inaugural
HSI Research Colectiva Convening on
April 25, 2024. This day-long event will discuss the future of
California Hispanic-Serving Institutions, which are colleges and
universities that enroll at least 25% Hispanic/Latino students.
This convening of scholars and practitioners will allow us to
share research and envision an agenda for HSI policy and practice
in California. The goal of the Colectiva is to establish a
statewide HSI policy agenda that encompasses the most pressing
state priorities such as Guided Pathways, dual enrollment,
financial aid, and support for basic needs.
