AZ HSI Consortium

Subscribe to Consortium Listserv

Launched in 2021, the AZ HSI Consortium seeks to strengthen the individual and collective capacity of Arizona HSIs to intentionally support conditions necessary for student success in Arizona. The AZ HSI Consortium aims to bring together all HSIs across Arizona to develop a community of practice to engage collectively in professional development, support the exchange of evidence-based and intentional practices, facilitate successful transfer of students to Arizona universities, and collaborate across HSIs when seeking funding opportunities and other important partnerships.

The launch of the AZ HSI Consortium was initially informed by an extensive review process led by HSI Fellows at the University of Arizona, which involved content analysis and interviews that examined the purpose and structure of HSI consortiums in other states, including California, Texas, Nevada, and Florida.

The inaugural meeting of the AZ HSI Consortium convened Presidents, Chancellors, and senior level leaders across Arizona HSIs to gauge their interest and commitment moving forward, which was well received with strong interest and desire to formalize efforts moving forward.

More details to come in the near future.
