Siempre Presente: Reclaiming the Power of Voice, Identity, y Cultura
📅 Date: March 9 – 12, 2025
📍 Location: Chicago - Chicago, IL
We are pleased to announce the 17th Annual AHSIE Best Practices Conference, Siempre Presente: Reclaiming the Power of Voice, Identity, y Cultura. This year, we invite you to join us in a dynamic exploration of how we can harness our collective voice, celebrate our diverse identities in education, and honor our rich cultural heritage to drive meaningful change in our communities and institutions.
This year, we want our conference to speak to the enduring presence and influence of our voices, identities, and cultures in shaping our educational and professional landscapes. As we navigate the complexities of the modern world, it is crucial to reclaim and amplify these elements, ensuring they remain central to our practices and policies.
AHSIE attendees are higher education administrators, evaluators, staff, faculty and students who foster the institutional conditions and best practices that close institutional performance gaps for Latinx/a/o/e students.
We also offer pre-conference institutes designed to support those working in emerging and new HSIs, to learn how to effectively manage their Latinx/a/o/e educational initiatives and maximize grant funding opportunities to build institutional capacity.
Over 700 participants regularly attend our annual conference.
Join us in reclaiming the power of voice in education, identity, and cultura. Together, let’s make a lasting impact and drive the change we wish to see in our educational and professional realms.
