HSI NOW: Advancing Servingness in Wisconsin

We make our way to the Midwest for this episode, learning with the HSI Network of Wisconsin. HSI-NOW is a coalition of leaders from colleges and universities across the state of Wisconsin with a mission to collectively develop the ideal conditions to serve, educate, and advance Hispanic/Latino* students to create equitable opportunities in higher education. In this plática, I talk to 2 members of the network who share the origin story, purpose, and major milestones that the network has made. A key take-away of this episode is that collaboration and cooperation will take us much further in our own individual campus servingness journeys than competition will. Our guests include Jacki Black, the Director of Hispanic Initiatives and Diversity & Inclusion Educational Programming at Marquette University, and Alberto Maldonado, the Director of the Roberto Hernández Center at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee. Both Jacki and Alberto have an unwavering commitment to serving Latine/x students in higher education and both value community, family, language, and culture and work hard to ensure that students on their individual campuses are seen, heard, and served.
