HSI Conference: Promoting Servingness across CUNY HSIs

在“改善本科STEM教育：西班牙裔服务机构（HSI）计划”的支持下，本次会议旨在汇集纽约市立大学（CUNY）所有HSI的教师、学生和工作人员，以突出成功的HSI举措，反思城市校园HSI身份，制定正式建立城市HSI网络的计划，并促进整个城市的服务。纽约市立大学是美国最大的城市公立大学，由纽约市的25所学院组成。纽约的HSI高校数量在全美排名第四，共有35所HSI高校。超过一半的城市大学被指定为hsi，但是没有一个集中的城市大学网络。拟议的项目是一个为期两天的会议，将汇集来自纽约市立大学所有hsi的代表，呼吁采取行动，通过数据，实践和领导有意为西班牙裔/拉丁裔学生服务。会议将提高对如何有效衡量西班牙裔/拉丁裔学生成功的理解，所产生的知识将告知机构需要什么样的支持和环境来帮助西班牙裔/拉丁裔学生获得学位。本次会议将为纽约市立大学的hsi提供平台，以定义和促进他们校园的服务，并促进对合作的讨论，并在纽约市立大学建立集中的资源和支持。会议发言人和研讨会负责人将分享他们在促进hsi服务方面的丰富经验，并通过旨在制作纽约市hsi状况白皮书内容的工作会议指导会议参与者。参与者将代表纽约市立大学hsi的教师、学生、员工和管理人员。该项目的结果将发表在同行评议的期刊上，在会议上传播，并与HSI社区分享白皮书。该项目将为拉美裔学生提供最佳实践模式，供全国各地寻求提高西班牙裔/拉丁裔学生的招生、留用和毕业率的学院和大学采用、采用和复制。HSI计划旨在加强HSI的本科STEM教育和能力建设。HSI计划支持的项目也将产生关于如何实现这些目标的新知识。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

With support from the Improving Undergraduate STEM Education: Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSI) Program, this conference aims to bring together faculty, students, and staff from all City University of New York (CUNY) HSIs to highlight successful HSI initiatives, reflect on CUNY campus HSI identities, develop a plan for formalizing a CUNY HSI network and promote servingness across CUNY. CUNY is the nation’s largest urban public university, made up of 25 colleges throughout New York City. New York ranks fourth in the nation in number of HSIs with a total of 35 HSI colleges and universities. More than one half of CUNY’s colleges are designated as HSIs, however there is no centralized CUNY network. The proposed project is a two-day conference that will bring together representatives from all CUNY HSIs in a call to action to intentionally serve Hispanic/Latinx students through data, practice, and leadership. The conference will improve the understanding of how to effectively measure Hispanic/Latinx student success and the knowledge generated will inform institutions about what supports, and environments are needed to assist Hispanic/Latinx students on their path to degree attainment.This conference will provide the platform for CUNY HSIs to define and promote servingness at their campuses and foster a discussion on collaboration and establishment of centralized resources and support across CUNY. The conference speakers and workshop leaders will share their extensive experience with promoting servingness across HSIs and guide the conference participants through working sessions designed to produce the content of a white paper on the state of CUNY HSIs. The participants will represent faculty, students, staff, and administrators across CUNY HSIs. Results of this project will be published in peer-reviewed journals, disseminated at conferences, and shared in white papers with the HSI Community. The project will provide models of Best Practices at HSIs that may be adapted, adopted, and replicated by colleges and universities across the nation that seek to increase recruitment, retention, and graduation rates for Hispanic/Latinx students. The HSI Program aims to enhance undergraduate STEM education and build capacity at HSIs. Projects supported by the HSI Program will also generate new knowledge on how to achieve these aims.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
