THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT EL PASO
The Natalicio Institute serves as a national platform for researchers, thought leaders, philanthropists and policymakers to develop and evaluate policy and programs, advance innovation, and cultivate resources critical to accelerating educational outcomes among Hispanic students.
The Natalicio Institute will convene researchers and experts from across the globe to study and disseminate knowledge about organizational cultures, policies, and practices that strengthen capacity in Hispanic-serving institutions (HSIs) to advance student success. A critical focal point of our research pillar is to create knowledge about, and share insight among, Hispanic-serving institutions (HSIs).
A critical pillar of our work is to develop faculty, staff and administrators who are poised to lead and transform the increasingly diverse environment of higher education. The Natalicio Institute will provide growth and development opportunities for stakeholders through fellowships, learning communities, courses, convenings, and resource materials.
Informed by research and institutional practice, the Natalicio Institute will influence policy discussions in collaboration with networks of universities, nonprofit policy organizations, and private-sector entities to support and enhance Hispanic-serving institutions’ role in broadening educational opportunities for historically underserved groups.
We must be proud of the progress that we have made and of our resilience in pushing toward our ambitious goals, and we must be confident in setting ever higher goals for the future."
