91ÖØ¿Ú

Hispanic Serving Institution

91ÖØ¿Ú is proud to be designated a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) by the United States Department of Education. The mission of HSIs is to assist with strengthening institutional programs, facilities, and services to expand educational opportunities for Hispanic Americans and other underrepresented populations.  

The goals of the HSI STEM systems of support are to enhance the quality of undergraduate science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education and to increase the recruitment, retention, and graduation rates of Latino/a/x and other underrepresented student groups pursuing associate or baccalaureate degrees in STEM fields.  

HSI STEM at 91ÖØ¿Ú is a school-wide support system that helps Latino/a/x/e and low-income students who are interested in pursuing education and careers in STEM. Students at 91ÖØ¿Ú who are majoring in Math, Computer Information Sciences, Cybersecurity, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Earth and Environmental Sciences, Forestry, Geography, Geology, and other STEM-related programs can benefit from the supports HSI STEM provides. We provide support to STEM students through participation in our 91ÖØ¿Ú STEM Academy, Student Success Teams, working with STEM faculty on ways to improve instruction, opportunities to explore STEM career paths through Work-Based Learning, HSI STEM funded tutoring, individual one-on-ones with our Retention Specialist, and referrals to other services on campus. We support your classroom efforts so you reach your goals, and we can also connect you with relevant resources on campus that will support you on your path to completion.
