In this multi-guest episode of ¿Qué pasa, HSIs? I talk to the dynamic duo from ESCALA Educational Services Inc., Dra. Melissa Salazar and Dra. Maribel Jiménez about the history and evolution of ESCALA and the ways that they support HSIs. ESCALA is a consortium of higher education consultants who are committed to closing equity gaps for Latinx students in HSIs by way of faculty training and development. They work exclusively with HSI educators and do their work through a Latinx-centered approach. In this episode they talk about the challenges of implementing servingess in practice and the unique challenges that faculty face in doing this work.
