The institute will help to promote a culture of learning and development for all participants, by providing opportunities for professional growth. As well as ensure that there is a shared commitment, and collective responsibility for the academic success of our Hispanic/Latino students.

In addition, our focus will be to provide multiple historical and cultural accounts to help enhance understanding of Hispanic/Latino history, ethnicity, culture, identity, and language.
