Sam Houston State University became federally designated as a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) in 2022, formally recognizing its dedication to student success for all. The distinction has made SHSU eligible for additional grant funding to serve Hispanic students and allowed the university to be a part of a network with other HSI’s even better.
National Hispanic-Service Institutions Week began on Monday, and Inclusion Initiatives has partnered with numerous divisions and departments to provide all students with an event-filled week.
