Sociology PhD student Gabriela Flores shared insight from her longitudinal research with Latinx college students attending Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSI) and their parents in a recent blog post for ImmigrantEdNext.

"Gabriela’s work calls attention to the need to raise awareness about HSIs' goals and common misconceptions families have about HSIs. She demonstrates that simply having the designation of HSI is not enough to mitigate the educational inequalities Latinx youth face. Gabriela provides recommendations colleges and universities can take to begin to raise awareness and more effectively engage Latinx students and families."
