words/labels evolve and they matter. some hispanics that are very community involved in my area don't particularly like the word latinx, for example, and it might be regional or even age preferences. I'd like to see very clear guidelines from our university on currently accepted use of language in these spaces - so that we can all be aware of best practices

It may not be a full mission statement, but I think this is closest our institution has come to re: assigning meaning to our HSI status: http://diversity.sonoma.edu/presidents-hispanic-serving-institution-hsi-advisory-council

The HSI Advisory Council is Chaired by the School of Education Dean Laura Alamillo, with Professor Robert Train assisting her, and includes individuals from across the campus, in the community, and Sonoma State alums.

The Council will create an HSI success construct based on "servingness". Servingness is a concept that Gina Garcia, Anne-Marie Núñez, and Vanessa A. Sansone (2019) argue is "a multidimensional and conceptual way to understand what it means to move from simply enrolling Latinx students to actually serving them." The Council's work will also be aligned with our core values as articulated in our Strategic Plan and Graduation Initiative 2025. You can read more about "servingness" in this article.

Charge of the Advisory Council

The purpose of the Council is to serve as Sonoma State's advisory council for HSI initiatives and facilitate implementation of the following initiatives:

1. Create HSI success framework based on Servingness

2. Review SSU's current campus climate data on Hispanic/Latinx students, staff, faculty, and administrators in order to create a summary report; and collect additional data on the SSU Hispanic/Latinx community

3. Determine the requirements and advise on Sonoma State's achievement of the Seal of Excelencia

4. Track and discuss the progress of the HSI Task Force Recommendations

The Council will meet in December, February, March, and May and will be expected to submit a progress report to the President by May 16, 2022.
