Carlos Crespo, AHS dean and KN professor, has been awarded a fellowship as part of the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities‘ sixth cohort of its Leadership Academy/La Academia de Liderazgo.
Founded in 1986, the association represents more than 500 institutions committed to higher education success for Hispanic students in the U.S., Latin America and Spain.
“The HACU Leadership Academy/La Academia de Liderazgo has a proven record of advancing diverse leaders within a wide range of higher education institutions,” said HACU President and CEO Antonio R. Flores. “We fully expect this cohort to match if not exceed our alums in successfully breaking into leadership roles across the nation.”
Throughout the 2024-2025 fellowship, participants will develop organizational leadership skills and strategies for applying those skills at institutions serving large Latinx populations. Current and former university presidents, chancellors and senior administrators will instruct the fellows; one-on-one mentorship is a key component of the program. Each fellow will also develop a special project that positively impacts their institution.
The 2024-2025 fellowship includes in-person and virtual seminars, with the first event in October 2024 at HACU’s 38th annual conference in Aurora, Colorado. A second seminar will be held in Washington, D.C. in April 2025 at HACU’s National Capitol Forum.
