HACU The Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU) was established in 1986, with a founding membership of 18 colleges and universities. Today, HACU represents more than 460 institutions committed to Hispanic higher education success in 35 states, Puerto Rico, the District of Columbia and 9 countries in Latin America and Europe. HACU is the only national association that represents Hispanic-Serving Institutions. More than 55 million Hispanics live in the United States and Puerto Rico. While HACU’s U.S. member institutions represent less than 10% of all higher education institutions nationwide, collectively they enroll approximately two-thirds of all Hispanic college students. In 2015, HACU’s national college and university members enrolled over 6 million students, of which more than 2.1 million, or 34%, identified themselves as Hispanic. Currently, HACU’s Hispanic-Serving School Districts (HSSD) affiliation includes 17 HSSD members and in Fall 2014, these member school districts enrolled 381,932 students, of which 227,662 or 60%, were identified as Hispanic.

HISPANIC ASSOCIATION OF COLLEGES & UNIVERSITIES 03 2015 MEMBERSHIP DIRECTORY MEMBER SERVICES Government Relations The Government Relations Office serves as HACU’s chief advocacy arm in Washington, D.C., and represents Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) and Hispanic students before the U.S. Congress. Advocacy – HACU efforts have been instrumental in convincing Congress to appropriate funds for Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) and other institutions which support Hispanic student success in higher education. Title V funding has increased from $12 million in 1995 to $109.2 million in 2015. Other grants programs in the United States Departments of Agriculture, Defense, and Housing and Urban Development bring the cumulative federal commitment to HSIs to over $2.4 billion as a result of HACU’s advocacy efforts. Legislative Agenda – HACU’s Legislative Agenda is presented during the annual Capitol Forum. The Agenda addresses Hispanic higher education needs across the K-20 pipeline and beyond. It also identifies appropriations requests for programmatic funding for HSIs during the upcoming federal fiscal year and identifies long-range education, labor, research and outreach priorities for HSIs through amendment recommendations for the reauthorization of major legislation, including the Higher Education Act, the Farm Bill, the National Science Foundation, the Energy Act, the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, immigration reform, and other legislation of major interest to HSIs and the nation’s Hispanic community. Member Advisories and Action Alerts – Electronic notifications provide members with the latest legislative developments, encourage legislative interaction with congressional members on specific legislative matters and report on funding opportunities for HSIs. Individual institutional requests for guidance, specific legislative and statistical information, and support are also facilitated by HACU. Memoranda of Understanding and Partnership Agreements – More than 30 agreements have been signed with federal agencies, corporate partners, and international organizations. Regional Office – In 2005, HACU established a regional office to serve Western States in Sacramento, California. HACU’s regional presence enables the association to take an active role in state and local efforts to ensure Hispanic student success and enhance collaboration for addressing national and local legislative matters. Conferences and Events Annual Conference – HACU’s largest gathering is the Annual Conference, which provides an opportunity to showcase successful programs for Hispanics, collaborate with colleges and universities around the world, and promote discussions on how to best serve Hispanic students,
