Each spring, the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities hosts its Annual National Capitol Forum on Hispanic Higher Education. The two-day Capitol Forum features policy briefings on Hispanic-Serving Institution priorities and delegation visits to Capitol Hill to meet in person with congressional leaders to advocate for HSIs. 

Highlights include: Informational sessions about grant opportunities; Impactful plenaries on investments in HSIs; Student Track: The HSInnovators; and congressional meetings. 

Whether you're a college president, a student, policymakers, or an ally in the corporate or philanthropic world, your voice and participation are crucial. Together, we can advocate for the resources and policies that HSIs need to thrive.
