Document Number: 5512 Latino Student Success at Hispanic-Serving Institutions - Latino students are one of the fastest growing groups enrolling in postsecondary education today and nearly half of them are enrolled at Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs). This policy brief summarizes what is known about Latino student achievement and suggests further areas of research.
