As more of the state’s colleges and universities receive a “Hispanic-serving” designation — meaning their student population is at least 25% Hispanic — what are leaders, administrators and educators doing to ensure students’ success? 

Join us in Brownsville or tune in online on Tuesday, Aug. 23, at noon Central for a Texas Tribune event on stepping up Hispanic-serving institutions in our state. Hear from: 

• Guy Bailey, president of The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley; 
• Jacob Fraire, director of policy and strategy at the Diana Natalicio Institute for Hispanic Student Success at the University of Texas at El Paso; 
• Juliet García, former president of the University of Texas at Brownsville; and
• others in a conversation moderated by Tribune CEO Evan Smith.

The event will take place at The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley’s Brownsville campus - PlainsCapital Bank El Gran Salón, located at One W. University Blvd., Brownsville, Texas, 78520. Parking information will be emailed to attendees by Monday, Aug. 22.

A light lunch and networking will begin at 11:30 a.m., followed by an hourlong conversation beginning at noon. This in-person event will be simultaneously streamed for virtual attendees and will be available to watch on demand afterward at texastribune.org/events.
