HISPANIC-SERVING INSTITUTIONS (HSI) Summit
July 20, 2026
Preceding Encoura + RNL National Conference
Examine the evolving landscape of HSIs, reflect on the concept of servingness, and engage in meaningful dialogue around equity, belonging, and institutional responsibility.
Attend this pre-conference summit with fellow colleagues to explore current trends shaping HSIs, including growth, policy, and student outcomes. Designed to be both reflective and practical, this session blends data, dialogue, and shared learning, offering a foundation that participants can carry throughout the conference and beyond. Colleagues will leave with actionable insights to strengthen their impact on campus and in the community. Seating is limited, so early registration is encouraged.
