The discussion covered HACU’s origin and mission advancing higher education success for students at Hispanic-Serving Institutions, and how the Association is meeting its strategic priorities.

President Flores and HACU staff visited the Borough of Manhattan Community College as part of its HACU On the Road tour on Feb. 25, 2024. The event brought together members of the higher education community and leaders from the surrounding area for a presentation from President Flores.
