HACU President serves as first speaker at Goshen College 2024 Yoder Public Affairs Lecture

The Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities' President and CEO Antonio R. Flores spoke at Goshen College’s Yoder Public Affairs Lecture on Sept. 12, 2024. Flores will speak on “The Relevance of Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) in the Midwest and at Goshen College” at Rieth Recital Hall in the Goshen College Music Center.

“In a nation of immigrants where Hispanics comprise the largest immigrant population and the fastest-growing demographic, Goshen College and its surrounding communities can be a beacon of hope for a better, fairer America,” said Flores. “The college can show the nation that diversity is our strength and unity is our power, transforming the nation and the world into a more peaceful, prosperous, and just place.”

Goshen College is one of four HSIs in Indiana, which has nine HACU-member institutions across the state. The Flores lecture is the first event in Goshen College’s 2024 Yoder Public Affairs Lecture series, which features speakers who lead non-profits, serve in the federal government, or work as political and social activists.
