New England HSI Inaugural Conference

Hosted by

Salem State University

This conference will bring together Hispanic Serving Institutions, Minority Serving Institutions, and emerging Hispanic Serving Institutions to build community and increase capacity to intentionally “serve” this student population with the intent to close equity gaps and create a higher educational environment where all students can thrive. The conference will offer the opportunity to hear from, and network with, national and local educational, government and policy leaders, scholars, students, and community practitioners. As the Commonwealth’s Civic Engagement University, we recognize the importance of community, leadership, and advocacy to enhance student and community outcomes. We are thrilled to host this inaugural conference and hope you can join us!
