Books by Dr. Garcia
The HSI Movement
The HSI Movement is about organizational change and the educators and leaders who drive institutional transformation from within. Aligned with over a decade of research about Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs), Garcia argues that Latine enrollment, federal eligibility for grants, and grant-seeking and -getting do not make a college or university “Hispanic-serving.” She contends that to become “Latine-serving,” institutions must fundamentally change their culture and identity.
