Con Valor y Cariño: Advancing Educational Dignity
The 19th Annual AHSIE Best Practices Conference brings together practitioners, educators, leaders, and students from emerging and designated Hispanic-Serving Institutions for four days of learning, connection, and community.
In 2027, we gather in Seattle for Con Valor y Cariño: Advancing Educational Dignity, bringing the AHSIE community together to share ideas, exchange practices, build meaningful connections, and strengthen our collective work on behalf of students and communities.
Through thought-provoking conversations, practical best practices, meaningful networking, and opportunities to learn from colleagues across the country, AHSIE 2027 will create space for practitioners to connect, reflect, and take new ideas back to their campuses.
