La Academia was created in 2019 to address the declining percentage of Hispanic University presidents and prepares future leaders who aspire to serve in higher-level positions in Hispanic-Serving Institutions and emerging HSIs. Fellows participate in three-week seminars integrated with HACU’s highly regarded conferences. The first seminar will precede the 37th Annual Conference in Chicago, Illinois, in October 2023. The second seminar will lead to HACU’s 29th Annual Capitol Forum on Hispanic Higher Education in Washington, D.C., in April 2024. The third seminar will be held prior to the 14th International Conference in Salamanca, Spain, in June 2024.
In addition to the seminars, fellows will have the opportunity to network and learn from nationally recognized executives in higher education, with more than 100 years of combined experience, who serve as faculty members in the program. An invaluable part of the program includes mentorship with a university president or other high-level executives. The program culminates in the implementation of a special project meant to have an impact on the fellow’s current institution.
“I’m very honored to have been selected to participate as a fellow in this highly regarded national leadership program,” Fabian said. “I look forward to this opportunity to network with and learn from this exceptional cohort of Hispanic leaders as we work toward advancing diversity in higher education.”
