HACU’s Annual Conference provides a unique forum for the sharing of information and ideas for the best and most promising practices in the education of Hispanics. 

The conference goals are to:

  • showcase successful, effective, and exemplary programs and initiatives of HACU-member institutions 
  • promote and expand partnerships and strategic alliances for collaboration between HACU-member institutions and public- and private-sector organizations
  • foster and identify graduate education opportunities for Hispanic students and graduates
  • deliberate policy issues affecting the education opportunities of Hispanics, including HACU’s legislative agenda
  • promote greater Hispanic participation in scholarships, fellowships, internships and other such programs funded
    by private and government organizations 
  • discuss emerging trends in higher education affecting Hispanics and HSIs, e.g., distance learning, student-centered learning, outcomes assessment, and cross-national accreditation
