Reception to recognize campuswide efforts as a Hispanic-Serving Institution
UC Santa Cruz will host a reception to celebrate everyone who has contributed to the campus’s work as a Hispanic-Serving Institution. The event is free and open to the campus community.
In late September, UC Santa Cruz earned the Seal of Excelencia, national recognition of intentional campuswide efforts to serve Latinx students.
An institution earns the Seal of Excelencia by demonstrating alignment across the three core areas of data, practice, and leadership, which show:
- Evidence of effectiveness and intentionality in institutional practices serving Latinx students;
- Positive momentum for Latinx student progress in their data;
- Dedication to transforming the institution into an environment where Latinx students thrive; and
- Strategies in leadership that clearly articulate institutional focus on advancing Latinx student success.
