Our Team
All of our team members are experienced HSI practitioners from all over the U.S. This ensures that the practical examples we use and the topics we select for our courses are relevant to HSIs and emerging HSIs.
OUR KEY FACILITATORS
We feature practitioners of color in our facilitation, especially Latinx professionals who have lived experiences that mirror the students we are serving. Many of our facilitators have and continue to carry the extra burden of pushing forward equity work that is unpaid and unrecognized in their own institutions.
