Leveraging HSI Grants for Organizational Change

Lisa Petrov, Title V project director and assistant professor of Spanish, co-authored, with Gina Garcia, an article in the American Psychology Association's Journal of Diversity in Higher Education. In "Becoming a racially just Hispanic-serving institution: Leveraging HSI grants for organizational identity change," the authors discuss how the 569 colleges and universities designated as HSIs can move from Latinx-enrolling to Latinx-serving, a status that requires institutions to become race-conscious and equity-minded. They draw examples from Dominican and its work resulting from three Department of Education Title V HSI grants since 2017.
