We turn the focus to one emerging HSI in this episode of ¿Qué pasa, HSIs? to learn about how one campus has prepared to become an HSI. Our guest, Dra. Sandy López serves as the Director of the Undocumented Student Resource Center at Northern Illinois University (NIU), an emerging HSI in Illinois. Sandy has over 30 years of experience serving students, staff, faculty, and school business officials as an elementary school teacher, academic advisor, teaching consultant, administrator, and most importantly as a mentor and student advocate. Dra. López talks about her work as an unapologetic educator activist who is heavily involved on campus and in the community, working with and for undocumented students, and shares resources that educators can access. She provides a wealth of information about how NIU has intentionally emerged towards HSI. Dra. López’s energy is unmatched in this episode! Guest:Dra.
