The Diana Natalicio Institute for Hispanic Student Success, housed at The University of Texas at El Paso, is a national-facing academic and research unit to advance knowledge and practice for Hispanic student success. It was named and established with endowed support in 2021, in the name of The University of Texas at El Paso’s late President Emerita, Diana S. Natalicio—a trailblazer in integrating access and excellence to broaden opportunities in the postsecondary ecosystem for students with modest means.
The Institute seeks to uplift Dr. Natalicio’s legacy and her vision for higher education by enhancing HSIs’ potential to serve as engines of social and economic mobility, and as exemplars of institutions that integrate access and excellence. It leads knowledge creation, education, and partnerships to empower Hispanic-Serving Institutions to create pathways for student success, ensuring Hispanic students can thrive, contribute to their communities, and shape the future.
