SRES 815 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A resolution designating the week beginning on September 9, 2024, as "National Hispanic-Serving Institutions Week".

SRES 815 designates the week beginning September 9, 2024, as "National Hispanic-Serving Institutions Week" to recognize institutions that serve a significant Hispanic student population. It specifically refers to degree-granting colleges and universities with at least 25% Hispanic undergraduate enrollment, which collectively serve over 5 million students nationwide. The resolution calls for the public and organizations to observe this week with ceremonies and activities honoring these institutions' role in expanding access to higher education, particularly for low-income and underserved students. This is a ceremonial resolution with no funding or regulatory changes; it simply provides national recognition during Hispanic Heritage Month.
