HSIs Enacted Across Space & Time

In this episode of ¿Qué pasa, HSIs? we learn about enacting servingness across space and time. We focus specifically on the similarities and differences of emerging as a community college HSI and a four-year R1 HSI. Yesenia Escobar Mendoza talks about her experience as a counselor at San Jose City College working in a center that was created with a Title V grant and carrying on the HSI legacy over time. She stresses the importance of Title V grants in building a culture of servingness, but believes that the people hired by the grants are even more essential. Elizabeth Gonzalez shares stories of success from UCLA, an emerging HSI, suggesting that her time working at San Jose City College and UC Santa Cruz prepared her to build strategic partnerships across campus at UCLA. She teaches us about the collaboration and strategy necessary to emerge as an intentional HSI. They are joined by Daniela Cortez Bravo who serves as a HSI student liaison at UCLA, bringing student voice to the work and to the podcast. We compare and contrast servingness across spaces and time while honing in on key strategies for success.
