The CSU Hispanic-Serving Institution Action Research Network, led by Dr. Kevin Ferreira van Leer (University of Connecticut), Dr. Amber Gonzalez (California State University, Sacramento), and Dr. Erik Ramirez (California State University, San Marcos), has received a Spencer Foundation Vision Grant.  Receipt of the Vision Grant program makes project teams eligible to apply for the next cycle of the Transformative Research Grants (a $3.5 million dollar award).

The California State University Hispanic-serving Institution Action Research Network has been developing a definition of student success at the CSU HSI. Our expanded definition of student success includes three interconnected components: (1) academic outcomes that reflect enrollment, progress, and completion; (2) liberatory outcomes that emphasize identity development, agency, and community engagement; and (3) the practices for equity institutions must adopt to serve students
