SAN ANTONIO, TX \u2013 August 1, 2019 \u2013 (HISPANICIZE WIRE) \u2013\u00a0The Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities has announced 24 fellows have been selected for its Inaugural Presidential Leadership Academy, La Academia de Liderazgo. The program is designed to increase Hispanic representation in presidential positions in higher education.<\/p>\n
La Academia is a direct response to the declining percentage of Hispanic university presidents (from 4.5 percent in 2006 to 3.9 percent in 2016), despite the unprecedented growth of U.S. Hispanic college student enrollment.<\/p>\n
Selected Fellows will participate in an array of leadership development activities designed to prepare them for leadership roles in the full spectrum of institutions of higher learning, but with a focus on leadership positions within Hispanic-Serving Institutions and Emerging HSIs.<\/p>\n
\u00abThe Presidential Leadership Academy, La Academia de Liderazgo, meets HACU’s mission to champion Hispanic success in Hispanic higher education,\u201d said HACU President and CEO Antonio R. Flores. \u00abBy preparing more Latinos\/Latinas for leadership roles with a special focus on Hispanic-Serving Institutions, HACU and the Fellows who participate will have a profound impact on the students they serve and the institutions they lead.\u201d<\/p>\n
The one-year fellowship program includes three seminars, with the first taking place in October 2019, in conjunction with HACU\u2019s 33rd Annual Conference, \u00abChampioning Hispanic Higher Education Success: Meeting the Challenge of Prosperity and Equality,\u00bb in Chicago, Illinois. The second seminar will lead into HACU\u2019s 25th Annual Capitol Forum on Hispanic Higher Education in Washington, D.C., in April 2020. The third seminar will be held in late spring or early summer of 2020, with a focus on international collaborations.<\/p>\n
More than a dozen nationally recognized current and emeriti presidents and senior-level administrators will serve on the faculty. Mentorship with a university president will be a key component, as will be the development of a special project designed to have an impact at the Fellow\u2019s current institution.<\/p>\n
The following are the founding institutions of HACU\u2019s Inaugural Presidential Leadership Academy: American Federation of Teachers; California State University, Fresno; Case Western Reserve University; Colorado State University-Pueblo; Dallas County Community College District; DePaul University; Montclair State University; Morton College; New Jersey City University; Northeastern Illinois University; Northern Essex Community College; St. Augustine College; St. Thomas University; Universidad Central de Caribe; Universidad Mayor (Chile); University of California, Davis; University of California, San Diego; University of Houston-Downtown; University of Illinois at Chicago; University of Michigan; University of Texas at Austin; and University of Texas at San Antonio.<\/p>\n
