About AHSIE

 

The Alliance of Hispanic-Serving Institution Educators (AHSIE) exists to support the work of the nation’s Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) as they seek to provide quality, relevant educational opportunities to large and growing numbers of underserved populations, particularly Hispanic/Latinx/a/e/o students. All of the Alliance’s activities directly benefit practitioners and educators at HSIs through measures that involve cooperation, networking, partnerships, information-sharing, technical assistance and collaboration.

Members of the Alliance share professional development opportunities, find technical assistance for the implementation of Title V and Title lll funding and other capacity-building projects and use an annual national conference as a forum to disseminate best practices for improving educational outcomes for students.

In addition, the Alliance also fosters cooperation and collaboration among member institutions in order to produce more competitive grant applications to federal agencies that provide funding for higher education. The Alliance also acts as a liaison between federal agencies and its member institutions.

 

The AHSIE community values and beliefs are:

  • We believe excellence is achieved through integrity, trust, and respect.

  • We believe in a culturally relevant learning environment to achieve excellence and success for Hispanic/Latinx/a/e/o students.

  • We believe that Hispanic/Latinx/a/e/o student success is achieved through professional learning and leadership development.

  • We believe in responding to the needs of our academic and broader community.

  • We believe in synergistic partnerships that support Hispanic/Latinx/a/e/o student success.

 

To qualify as a Hispanic-Serving Institution, an institution of higher education must have a full-time undergraduate student population that is at least 25% Hispanic/Latinx/a/e/o. These institutions are not only eligible for Title III/Title V funding through the U.S. Department of Education and other Federal agencies but have the explicit mission of promoting higher education access and opportunity for Hispanic/Latinx/a/e/o students.
