I write to share with you information about UB’s continuing institutional membership to the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU).
HACU is an organization that represents more than 500 colleges and universities in the United States, Latin America, Spain, and school districts throughout the U.S. Its mission is to advocate for Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs) in the U.S. and around the world, and advance Hispanic servingness in higher education. Besides policy advocacy at all levels, HACU also provides its members with a variety of programming and educational resources, as well as various opportunities and scholarships for students at member institutions.
Specifically, HACU membership provides
Advocacy representation on behalf of Hispanic education
Grant opportunities offered only to member institutions
Internships, scholarships and leadership opportunities for students
Discounts to HACU Conferences, advertising, exhibitor opportunities, and HACU ProTalento career resource
Faculty and staff development opportunities
Free subscription to The Voice of Hispanic Higher Education magazine and e-newsletter
Access to webinars and HACU Advocacy Center
Anyone on campus can access programs, initiatives and information on conferences without a login.
I invite you to visit the HACU website and explore the many resources and opportunities the organization offers. Please also disseminate this information to your students, faculty and staff.
If you have questions about the membership or how to best utilize it in your units, please contact me or the Office of Inclusive Excellence (vpix@buffalo.edu).
