HACU’S MISSION

1

Two thousand and five was a highly successful year for the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU). On the legislative front, HACU won record levels of federal support for Title V in 2005. The U.S. Senate’s Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee unanimously approved legislation which favored much of HACU’s Legislative Agenda for Title V of the Higher Education Act (HEA) reauthorization:

• The “low-income assurance” requirement has been eliminated. • The “wait-out period” has also been removed. • A new section was added to create a separate grant program to promote post-baccalaureate opportunities for

Hispanic Americans. • Graduate education has also been included in the cooperative grants section.

It only remains to get reauthorization, with these key HACU provisions, through the House and signed into law.

HACU also announced the opening of its first regional office, in Sacramento, California, in August 2005 . This office will assist with Hispanic higher education legislative and policy issues in the western region of the U.S. HACU is very excited about the new opportunities the western regional office will afford the organization. There are seventy-three Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs) in California alone, plus twelve more in Arizona, one in Oregon, and two in Washington State. In addition, HACU has a total of 45 Associate HSIs and 4 Partner institutions in these states and Nevada. More than one-fourth of HACU’s membership is located in this region, and HACU will now be able to serve its California and other western state constituents more effectively and efficiently.

HACU has also partnered with Laureate International Universities, a group of accredited institutions owned by Laureate Education, Inc., the world’s leading international provider of higher education. They will award more than $8 million in tuition scholarships for Latinos and other students to study abroad throughout Europe and Latin America. This unparalleled program will provide students from HACU’s more than 400 U.S. and Puerto Rico member schools the opportunity to study abroad at one of Laureate’s 15 universities in various countries. It will do this by addressing the most significant barriers preventing students, particularly Latinos, from studying abroad - lack of financial resources and access to information on program options.

None of this could be possible without the dedication and hard work of HACU’s staff and the continuing support of its many partners. On behalf of HACU’s Governing Board, I would like to thank everyone who contributed to HACU’s success in 2005.

Cordially,

LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT & CEO

he Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU) saw continued success in 2005. The creation of important partnerships, the growth of our membership, and significant gains through our advocacy efforts for Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) and Hispanic higher education all, once again, marked another banner year in HACU’s young but remarkable life.

Several new partnerships were created in 2005. A hiring partnership agreement with Home Depot paved the way for the first corporate intern placements with Home Depot in the summer of 2005. Office Depot is another corporation that before the end of the year signed a partnership agreement with HACU. The Laureate International Scholarship program was also launched this year, involving a multi-million dollar commitment to scholarships for HACU students to study abroad. New Memorandums of Understanding with the Organization for American States (OAS) and with the Embassy of Spain further extended HACU’s international outreach.

HACU’s Supporting Employment and Educational Development (SEED) Program was launched in 2005. This important initiative involves HACU, corporations leading diversity efforts, and talented Hispanic professionals in creating new employment and educational opportunities for Hispanics. The highlight of the SEED Program is a resume database on the HACU website (www.hacu.net) accessible to corporations for a fee. This program will give corporations an easy way to reach many qualified candidates for jobs in their organizations and will enhance job prospects for our own best and brightest.

HACU’s membership grew by 79 new members in 2005 to a new high of 450 member colleges and universities throughout the U.S. and internationally. This reflects a 14 percent increase over 2004.

HACU’s 10th Annual Capitol Forum in Washington, D.C., the 6th International Conference in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and the 19th Annual Conference in Phoenix, Arizona, were all resounding successes in 2005. Record members attended each of these important HACU events. The Forum allowed us to advocate for increased funding and improved legislation for HACU-member institutions, particularly for HSIs. The International and Annual Conferences offered a comprehensive platform for HACU members and supporters to share and showcase successful and promising practices in Hispanic higher education.

A summer Governing Board planning retreat more sharply focused HACU’s strategic goals around our three main priorities: advocacy, capacity-building for our members, and partnerships. This renewed focus will drive our agenda as we move into 2006 and celebrate HACU’s 20th Anniversary.

HACU would not have been able to accomplish so much in 2005 without the continuing work and dedication of its Governing Board, staff, sponsors, members, partners, and other supporters. All of you made it possible for HACU to achieve so much this year and advance our mission to champion Hispanic higher education success.

Sincerely,

Antonio R. FloresPresident & CEO

OFFICE OF GOVERNMENT RELATIONS

he Office of Government Relations in 2005 led efforts to win important new federal funding for HACU member and partner colleges and universities. With support from HACU’s membership and allies, the Office of Government Relations continued to solidify the congressional appropriations commitments to Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) and establish new congressional relationships and new federal partnerships that promise to enhance the funding base for Hispanic higher education for several years to come.

HACU’s Washington, D.C., office represents the needs of its membership through daily contact with the leadership of Congress and the White House, formal testimony before key Congressional committees and strategic partnerships with allied education and minority organizations.

In 2005, despite the uncertain domestic economy and additional budget constraints created by the hurricane relief efforts and the continuing war in Iraq, HACU won increases in FY 2005 federal funding for HSIs under Title V of the Higher Education Act (HEA) and within the program budget of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Within the 2005 Energy Bill, HACU was able to win authorization language that ensures increased research grant opportunities for HSIs including a new section in the bill to promote collaboration on energy issues with countries of the Western Hemisphere.

Despite postponement of final action on the five-year reauthorization of the HEA to 2006, HACU in 2005 won bipartisan support for key proposals to simplify and expand Title V, which remains the chief federal funding vehicle for HSIs. Both the House and Senate formally endorsed recommended authorization levels for HSIs as well as the proposed new category of Title V funding for graduate education. In addition, HACU again received a congressional commitment to eliminate the 50-percent low-income assurance requirement and the 2 year wait-out period for Title V grant applications. A final resolution of these issues in 2006 appears very promising.

HACU continued to work closely with the Department of Defense and the U.S. Department of Agriculture through Leadership Groups to advocate for substantial increases in support for HACU colleges and universities. These two powerful Leadership Groups, composed of presidents and chancellors of HACU member institutions and senior government staff officials, have met regularly to oversee the implementation of HACU’s MOUs with these departments and to push for increased HSI involvement in department programs.

HACU continued to expand advocacy for HSIs by working with officials from the Departments of Justice and Health and Human Services, the U.S. Coast Guard, and the Peace Corps to increase employment and research opportunities for HACU students, faculty and staff.

HACU has also supported the work of the Alliance for Equity in Higher Education, the nation’s unified voice for all minority higher education institutions, as it continued the Kellogg Leadership Fellows program and began the search for sustained funding, undertook the administration of the National Articulation and Transfer Network, and took responsibility for the Beams (Building Engagement and Attainment of Minority Students) project funded by the Lumina Foundation for Education. HACU representatives also chair the education committee for the National Hispanic Leadership Agenda.

The successful HACU 2005 National Capitol Forum on Hispanic Higher Education featured the participation of the leadership of Congress through the attendance of Senators John Cornyn, Jeff Bingaman, Kay Bailey Hutchison, Ken Salazar and Representative Hinojosa. Representing federal agencies at the Capitol Forum were the Director of the National Science Foundation, Arden Bement, and the Director of the CIA Centers of Excellence, Leonora Gant. The Office of Government Relations also hosted three workshops at HACU’s 19th Annual Conference in 2005 on legislative developments and federal grant opportunities. Throughout the year, HACU promoted technical assistance workshops and dispatched HACU Action Alerts and Member Advisories on legislative issues and federal funding opportunities.

The Office of Government Relations ended 2005 with preparations for the 2006 Capitol Forum and a solid foundation of support that surely will lead to record new federal support for the Hispanic higher education community in the years ahead.

n September 2005, HACU opened its first regional office in Sacramento, CA. The Western Regional Office (WRO) will oversee legislation in the states of Arizona, California, Nevada, Oregon and Washington. In 2005, the office was established and legwork was done for advocacy work in the months and years ahead. This work included copious amounts of research for a briefing book, as well as one-on-one meetings with parties actively involved in higher education issues.

In 2006, the WRO began to take support and oppose positions on legislation that impacted Hispanic students and Hispanic-Serving Institutions in the states of Arizona and California. In addition, a survey of all California Member institutions was completed that will lead to a comprehensive legislative agenda in the state; similar work will be done in the other states in the Western Region.

TTHE HACU LEADERSHIP FELLOWS PROGRAM

he HACU Leadership Fellows Program is designed to increase the number of Hispanic senior-level leaders at Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs). Currently, Hispanics make up less than 4 percent of all college presidents. In an effort to increase this number, HACU selects ten Fellows every year and provides them with training aimed at developing the leadership skills needed to be a successful senior-level administrator. The HACU Leadership Fellows Program also focuses on developing skills needed to

manage issues unique to HSIs.

The program is part of a collaborative effort under the aegis of the Kellogg MSI Leadership Fellows Program aimed at increasing the number of senior-level leaders at Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs). As a benefit of this collaboration, several times a year HACU Fellows participate in joint training sessions with Fellows from programs directed by the American Indian Higher Education Consortium (AIHEC) and by the National Association for Equal Opportunity (NAFEO). Consequently, graduates of the HACU Leadership Fellows Program are not only trained to be successful administrators but, even more importantly, are formed as transcending leaders prepared to handle the challenges facing today’s diverse higher education community.

Last year’s HACU Fellows attended joint training sessions in Washington, D.C.; San Antonio, TX; Savannah, GA; Hampton, VA; and individual HSI training sessions at HACU’s 19th Annual Conference in Phoenix, AZ, and Capitol Forum in Washington, D.C.

All three programs in the collaboration are funded by a four-year $6 million dollar total grant from the W. K. Kellogg Foundation.

he Office of Programs, Services and International Affairs of the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU) is responsible for promoting and facilitating international initiatives involving HACU member institutions. It also supervises the activities of several departments under HACU’s administrative structure.

As part of its central role in promoting the international dimension of the association, this office has already achieved an important increase in international membership in the years 2004 and 2005, working closely with the Membership Department.

The 19th Annual HACU Conference in Phoenix, Arizona, included a significant number of roundtables and sessions with international content. One of these sessions is carefully planned to facilitate networking and the establishment of international partnerships between U.S. and international member institutions. The 6th International Conference, held with great success in Santa Fe, New Mexico, May 22-25, 2005, also included roundtables and other similar opportunities.

HACU has signed agreements with the Inter-American Organization for Higher Education (IOHE), the Organization of American States (OAS) and in July 2005 with the Government of Spain through the Ministry of Education and Science. Also during HACU’s 19th Annual Conference an agreement was signed for the creation of the HACU-Laureate International Scholarship Program which will give scholarships, totaling $8 million, to Hispanic students of HACU member institutions in the United States for study abroad opportunities in twelve institutions in Latin America and in several European countries. These agreements represent strategic alliances that will continue to increase the opportunities for students and faculty from HACU-member institutions to participate in international programs.

COLLEGIATE PROGRAMS

The HACU National Internship Program The nation’s largest Hispanic internship program continues to “open the doors of opportunity” to the next generation of Hispanic leaders as it nears the 6,000 student mark. Since its inception in 1992, the HACU National Internship Program (HNIP) has provided paid internships to top college students during spring, summer and fall sessions at federal agencies and private corporations in Washington, D.C., and throughout the country. These ten and fifteen-week internships allow college students to experience the diversity of careers that exist in the federal and corporate sectors. These opportunities provide quality professional work experience that allows students to make more informed career choices. HNIP matches student’s skills and background with the needs of participating federal agencies and corporations resulting in an internship assignment that directly relates to the student’s career goals and allows the participating agencies and corporations to further their missions. These internships have led to permanent employment opportunities for many students.

HNIP welcomed 600 student participants during 2005 working in twenty-two federal agencies and nine private corporations, with 33 students being part of the new HACU Cooperative Education Program. Of these, 393 interns worked in the Washington, D.C., area and 207 worked in “field” locations throughout the United States. These individuals represented the best of the Hispanic community, reflected in the average intern grade point average (GPA) of 3.37.

The federal agency partners were: the Central Intelligence Agency, Environmental Protection Agency, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, General Services Administration, National Archives and Records Administration, Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Federal Reserve

Board, National Science Foundation, Library of Congress, International Broadcasting Bureau, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, Health and Human Services, Interior, Justice, Labor, State, Transportation, Treasury and Veterans Affairs. Corporate HNIP Program partners were Genworth Financial, Home Depot, the Lockheed Martin Corporation, Nelnet, Proctor and Gamble, Sallie Mae, Sodexho, Verizon, and Wachovia.

The HACU Alumni AssociationThe HACU Alumni Association (HAA) was formally established in 2004 to unite alumni of HACU student programs: HNIP, the HACU Scholarship Program, HACU Conferences and other student programs. The HAA Bylaws were finalized and approved by the HACU Governing Board in 2005. To further ensure that the voice of past student program participants is incorporated into HACU’s long-term strategic goals, the Chair of the HACU Alumni Association is a voting member of the HACU Governing Board.

By formally coming together, HACU Alumni can now serve as a professional and global network for alumni and interns, provide leadership and service to current HACU participants, and advance the mission and goals of HACU in the area of Collegiate Programs. Membership is open to all individuals who have completed at least one HACU sponsored student program.

HAA membership currently exceeds 700 and is growing. The benefits of HAA membership include access to the HAA Newsletter which contains Alumni Highlights, HACU, HNIP, HAA Updates, and Current Events. The HAA sponsors a variety of activities such as monthly meetings, mentoring programs, social activities, professional networking, and community outreach. The HACU Alumni Web page and the HAA listserv facilitate communication between fellow alumni and HACU in

addition to providing information on job announcements and upcoming activities.

HACU Scholarship ProgramThe HACU Scholarship Program unveiled its new online application this year. More than 4,500 students visited the site and checked the scholarship criteria. In September, HACU awarded $276,400 in scholarships to 151 worthy students attending HACU-member institutions for the 2005-2006 academic year. These scholarships were possible due to the generous contributions of the Bureau of Land Management, Coors Light, General Motors, Home Depot, Lockheed Martin, NASCAR, Time Warner and Wal-Mart.

Financial Literacy - CreditSmart/Español: CreditSmart/Español is a bilingual consumer education initiative developed and funded by Freddie Mac that provides free financial literacy education to the Hispanic community across the country. HACU is one of the seven leading Hispanic service organizations that provide this program to the Hispanic community. The CreditSmart/Español curriculum consists of eleven bilingual modules (Spanish and English) that provide essential information on money management, banking and lending services, goal setting, building good credit, restoring one’s credit, planning for the future and becoming a homeowner.

Since 2003 the HACU/Freddie Mac partnership CreditSmart/Español workshops have been offered to over 2,000 individuals at 15 HACU member institutions in California, New York, Texas, Arizona, Florida, Colorado, Illinois, New Mexico, and Puerto Rico.

he Office of Information Technology Initiatives (OITI) works with HACU members, the general higher education community, and interested federal agencies, corporations and other partners to build the information technology capacity of HSIs. OITI promotes the use of information technology for teaching, learning, research and administration at HACU institutions to better serve their students and faculty and to develop the 21st century workforce of scientists, engineers, and other professionals. T

The NSF CI-TEAM MSI-C(I)2

In 2005 the National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $250,000 demonstration grant to the Alliance for Equity in Higher Education for the Minority-Serving Institutions Cyberinfrastructure Institute (MSI-C(I)2). This effort builds upon the successful Advanced Networking for Minority-Serving Institutions (AN-MSI) program, an Alliance-coordinated collaboration between HACU, the American Indian Higher Education Consortium (AIHEC), and the National Association for Equal Opportunity in Higher Education (NAFEO). Cyberinfrastructure (CI), the emerging advanced computer, data, instrumentation, visualization, and science services and resources, is changing the way science is done. The project will demonstrate the Alliance’s ability to bring together the CI, e-science and MSI communities to build the “middleware” to engage MSIs in CI, not only to avoid a new digital divide but also to “leap-frog” ahead in IT and science research and education. The grant focuses on a faculty training summer institute while developing a proposal to scale up the training and address additional ways to engage MSIs in CI development and e-science research and education.

The NSF BPC Computing Alliance for HSIs

The NSF, through its Broadening Participation in Computing (BPC) program, awarded a $2,000,000 grant to the Computing Alliance for HSIs (CA-HSI), consisting of the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP), Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, University of Houston-Downtown, New Mexico State University, California State University-Dominguez Hills, University of Puerto Rico-Rio Piedras, University of Puerto Rico-Mayaguez, and Florida International University along with HACU. The program will develop, refine and replicate some “best practices” for recruiting and retaining students, particularly Hispanics, in computer science and engineering; it will provide professional development for graduate students and faculty; and it will promote research and education collaborations among the participating institutions. IBM continues its long-standing support of HACU by providing software, information, expertise, curriculum development, faculty training and development, and other services and resources to this project through IBM’s Academic Initiatives program.

HACU/ETS/College Board Collaboration and the HACU Hispanic Higher Education Research Conference and Initiative

With support from the College Board and ETS, HACU convened a select group of researchers to develop the framework for a comprehensive research initiative on Hispanic higher education. The group identified the “grand challenges”: 1) advancing Latino student performance and success, 2) engaging Latino students, 3) transforming institutions of higher learning, 4) making HSIs stellar teaching and learning institutions, 5) growing HSIs’ vital role in science, technology, engineering and mathematics education and retention, and 6) building teacher preparation effectiveness. Brief literature reviews are being drafted for summer 2006 conferences of researchers, practitioners, policy makers and foundations. The papers and conference input will be the basis for a “use-inspired” research agenda on Hispanic higher education.

National Innovation Center for Hispanic Education (NICHE)

A concept paper on the National Innovation Center for Hispanic Education (NICHE) is under review. The NICHE will provide a web portal to research, information, policy, practice and online services and data for students, faculty, researchers, administrators, practitioners and policy makers. The NICHE would be the home for a virtual HACU Hispanic Higher Education Research Collaborative, a center for innovation in policy and practice for Hispanic success in higher education. The concept paper is under review, and work on the proposal continues.

The HETS/HACU/Universia Hispanic Virtual Congresso

HACU partnered with the Hispanic Educational Telecommunications System (HETS) and Universia to promote the Hispanic Virtual Congresso in November. Universia provided the web platform for the bilingual on-line conference. Live talks using interactive software from eLuminate and stored for subsequent visitors were complemented by on-line papers and electronic discussion groups. The Congresso received 13,000 visitors from 53 countries during its month-long run.

HOFFICE OF EDUCATION COLLABORATIVES

ACU’s Office of Education Collaboratives (OEC) manages collaborative projects funded by federal agencies, corporations and foundations to support Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs). These programs focus on Research Capacity Building, Undergraduate & Graduate Research Internship/Fellowship Programs, Pre-Collegiate College Preparation Programs, and Technical Assistance Programs.

National Center for Minority Health and Health Disparities/DHHS/HACU Professions Capacity Building Project The Professions Capacity Building Project is a cooperative endeavor between HACU and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) directed at increasing the capacity of HSIs and selected faculty members to participate in federal, state, and private-sector scientific and health-related research activities. The program is funded by the National Center for Minority Health and Health Disparities (NCMHD) and administered through the DHHS Office of Minority Health (OMH). Twenty HSI faculty and staff members completed the 2005 program training sessions, an online component, and presentations by NIH staff in Bethesda, MD.

HACU’s Executive Director of the Education Collaboratives Office wrote and coordinated the winning proposal for a National Umbrella Cooperative Agreement from OMH that secured a five year agreement for the HACU National Internship Program (HNIP) and the Professions Capacity Building Project plus $174,346 for OEC and HNIP.

National Science Foundation The OEC continued work on the two year pilot program to broaden Hispanic undergraduate and graduate students’ participation in the NSF Science and Technology Centers. Ninety-two students were recruited, an almost 50% increase over the previous year. Forty qualified and six were selected for the Science Technology Centers at the University of California, Santa Cruz and at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.

Shell Oil Company FoundationShell Oil Company Foundation granted HACU $25,000 for continued operation and development of the Proyecto Science pre-collegiate model program focusing on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education through the Mujeres Adelante pre-collegiate engineering program at the University of Texas, El Paso.

Ford Motor Company The Ford Motor Company award of $25,000 was utilized by HACU and Florida International University and its Center for Diversity in Engineering to implement an early awareness college preparation program to inform the Hispanic community of the importance of earning a college degree, and to provide information on financial aid opportunities and early preparation for college to middle school students and parents.

College Board Partnership The College Board and OEC continue to share services and data to benefit HSIs and those requesting data from The College Board’s Annual Survey of Colleges.

Pre-Collegiate ProgramsAFLAC, McDonald’s Corporation, and Nelnet sponsored the Youth Leadership Fair. More than 750 high school students attended the program on the campus of Phoenix College at HACU’s 19th Annual Conference in Phoenix, Arizona. This extraordinary event offered local Phoenix high school juniors and seniors the chance to learn about educational opportunities and financial aid options at community college and university levels for academic and occupational programs, and to meet with directors of different degree and certification programs that Phoenix College has to offer.

HSI Technical Assistance OEC, in partnership with the Alliance for Equity in Higher Education and with funding from the National Science Foundation, provided assistance to HSIs through the Model Institutes of Excellence Dissemination Project, which held a National Conference in Washington, D.C., to focus on the success and best practices of the project’s work in increasing the number of minority students enrolling and participating in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics majors and fields at the undergraduate level.

orporate and federal partners, members and individual donors combined to support HACU conferences and events in record numbers in 2005.

New partnerships established in 2005 include AFLAC, The Home Depot, Office Depot and Southwest Airlines.

HACU’s partnership with Nelnet (National Education Loan Network) has expanded opportunities for Hispanic students and their families. Through the partnership, the HACU Education Loan Program (HELP) provides a discounted student loan with borrower benefits to students and parents of students attending HACU member institutions. HACU member institution students have access to Nelnet’s valuable student loan services and college planning information, including financial literacy, debt management information, and other innovative tools which are available in Spanish as well as English.

In an effort to assist corporations in recruiting talented Hispanic professionals, HACU launched the Supporting Employment and Educational Development (SEED) Program. One of the highlights of the program includes a resume database hosted on HACU’s web site, which corporations can access for a fee. This gives corporations an easy way to reach many qualified candidates for jobs in their organizations. Coors Brewing Company provided the initial financial resources to develop the technology to establish the program. Other SEED Partners include Hilton Hotels, The Home Depot, Office Depot and Wachovia.

Program support for initiatives in Early Awareness and the Proyecto Science Program continued thanks to Ford Motor Company and Shell Oil.

Strategic alliances with corporations provided for over $100,000 in unrestricted support in 2005. The HACU/Gateway partnership provides HACU member colleges and universities, students,

faculty and staff with special pricing on Gateway computers. Meanwhile, HACU member and partner institutions are highlighted in the “Hobson’s Guide for College Bound Hispanic Students.”

Over $150,000 was awarded in scholarships to students at HACU-member institutions thanks to the generous support of General Motors, Lockheed Martin, NASCAR, The Home Depot, Time Warner and Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.

HACU also partnered with Southwest Airlines for the first annual “Dándole Alas a Tu Éxito/Giving Flight to Your Success” travel award program. Through this new initiative, Southwest Airlines provided airline tickets to Hispanic college students with socio-economic need who travel away from home to pursue a higher education. Over 40 students were awarded tickets to be used for travel on Southwest Airlines during the 2005-06 academic year.

HACU attracted record media coverage to the events of 2005 including the national and international conferences, legislative affairs initiatives and programs, cementing HACU’s role as a leading voice for Hispanic higher education. Print and online editions of the monthly newsletter, The Voice of Hispanic Higher Education, continue to keep constituents informed about the issues affecting Hispanic higher education in addition to attracting a wider readership and advertising base each year.

HACU continues to count on the support of the Corporate and Philanthropic Council, composed of Fortune 500 executives, to provide strategic guidance on innovative business development, marketing, networking and fundraising opportunities for HACU.

HACU also partnered with Southwest Airlines for the first annual “Dándole Alas a Tu Éxito/Giving Flight to Your Success” travel award program. Through this new initiative, Southwest Airlines provided airline tickets to Hispanic college students with socio-economic need who travel away from home to pursue a higher education. Over 40 students were awarded tickets to be used for travel on Southwest Airlines during the 2005-06 academic year.

HACU attracted record media coverage to the events of 2005 including the national and international conferences, legislative affairs initiatives and programs, cementing HACU’s role as a leading voice for Hispanic higher education. Print and online editions of the monthly newsletter, The Voice of Hispanic Higher Education, continue to keep constituents informed about the issues affecting Hispanic higher education in addition to attracting a wider readership and advertising base each year.

HACU continues to count on the support of the Corporate and Philanthropic Council, composed of Fortune 500 executives, to provide strategic guidance on innovative business development, marketing, networking and fundraising opportunities for HACU.
