2026 CSI Summer Conference: Teach Together

What does it truly mean to serve students in a time of political uncertainty, decreased funding, and growing students needs? Drawing on key insights from the 2026 Alliance for Hispanic Serving Institutions Educators (AHSIE) Conference, this session explores how institutions can move beyond enrollment metrics toward a deeply relational model of servingness. Participants will examine how institutional alignment and sustainable practices can transform classrooms. The session highlights innovative examples including student-led discussions, holistic support systems, and humanizing approaches to academic pursuits. Participants will engage with practical strategies such as integrating community cultural wealth into curriculum, building cross-campus collaboration, and solidarity through co-created practices. This session is designed for educators, administrators, and staff seeking to translate the promise of servingness into meaningful sustainable action.
