Salt Lake Community College has positioned itself as an emerging Hispanic-Serving Institution. Cristian spoke with Richard Diaz, who serves as the co-lead for the Emerging Hispanic-Serving Institution Collaborative Work Team and Sendys Estevez the Latinx Multicultural Student Success Coordinator, both at SLCC. The discussion examines what this designation means and how it impacts the LatinX student body.
