15th Annual AHSIE Best Practices Conference Theme

The 2023 AHSIE Best Practices Conference, La Quinceañera: Celebrando Crecimiento, Past, Present and Future, marks an important point in the history of AHSIE and on our path forward. Over the last fifteen years, AHSIE has created a welcoming space for HSI practitioners from across the nation to share best practices for supporting the rising majority, Latinx and low-income students at emerging and designated HSIs.

Preference will be given to submissions that incorporate this theme. AHSIE invites proposals that:

• Present innovative and transformative initiatives that accelerate equity in higher education through a social justice lens

• Demonstrate institutional efforts that leverage the cultural, familial, and community strengths of Latinx students, faculty, and staff

• Exemplify culturally responsive pedagogy, curriculum, policies, and practices that acknowledge the intersectional identities of a heterogeneous Latinx population

• Describe the successes and challenges faced on their institutional path to taking an asset-based perspective on Latinx student successThe AHSIE HSI/Title V annual conference provides those who work in Hispanic Serving Institutions a unique opportunity to network and share resources with their peers who work in HSIs.

AHSIE attendees are higher education administrators, evaluators, staff, faculty and students who support the development of an evidence-base for the institutional conditions and best practices that close achievement and completion gaps for Latinx students.

We also offer Institutes designed to support those working in emerging and new HSIs, to learn how to effectively manage their Latinx educational initiatives as well as maximize grant funding opportunities to build capacity at their institutions.
