Hispanic Leadership Institute

SUNY is committed to becoming the most inclusive public university system in the country, where all students, faculty, and staff feel welcomed, supported, and valued. Advancing this commitment requires leaders who understand the diverse backgrounds, lived experiences, and perspectives of SUNY's student communities across New York State, and who are prepared to support students in overcoming barriers to higher education.

SUNY recognizes that students experience barriers in different ways, shaped by geography, culture, identity, and circumstance. The University is committed to preparing leaders who can recognize these differences, value the strengths students bring to campus communities, and advance strategies that support student success, well-being, and upward mobility.

Through sustained investment in professional development, SUNY demonstrates its commitment to supporting emerging and current leaders as they continue to grow, lead, and contribute to inclusive and student-centered campus environments.

The Hispanic Leadership Institute supports the development and advancement of emerging and current SUNY leaders. The program provides a rigorous leadership development experience focused on strengthening leadership skills, expanding professional networks, and supporting participants as they pursue higher levels of administrative and leadership responsibility within SUNY.
