Last week, AL DÍA News interviewed Gina Ann Garcia about her work in helping define what is the role of Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs). For a college or university to become an HSI, it needs to reach 25% of Hispanic students to be able to submit the application and get the federal designation. According to data from the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities, in 2020-2021, in Pennsylvania, there are only three HSIs, but 12 are emerging. In Philadelphia, the state's biggest city, there are currently none.
