We conclude season 5 with a conversation on emergence and the active process of becoming a Hispanic-Serving Institution. Cal Poly San Luis Obispo (SLO) is one of the last institutions in the 23-campus Cal State system to become an HSI. Comparatively, many of the 23 CSUs have been HSIs for over 20 years, which put Cal Poly in an interesting position to act with intention and joy. And that they did. Dr. Beya Makekau, Associate Vice President of Strategic Planning & Networks, and Dr. Denise Isom, Interim Vice President for Diversity and Inclusion, join us for an invigorating conversation about intentionality in this work. They describe how they are flipping the narrative on emergence and leaning into the joy and opportunities of doing important work to bring Latine identities into the campus infrastructure. They also describe strategies for engaging the entire campus community so all members can take responsibility for servingness work. Beya and Denise offer so many ideas, you will definitely need to take notes. UPDATE: Since recording this episode, Cal Poly SLO has reached the 25% eligibility threshold; congratulations to them!!!
