2021 Hispanic Leadership Institute Nominations Now Available

Nominations are now being accepted for the 2021 Hispanic Leadership Institute (HLI). SUNY's HLI, coordinated by SUNY's Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and the Academic and Innovative Leadership (SAIL) Institute, is dedicated to strengthen the pool of higher education leaders from Hispanic backgrounds. HLI continues to advance SUNY's commitment to inclusive excellence. Because it is so critical to identify future leaders from diverse backgrounds, we are asking that you consider nominating one or more of your emerging or established Hispanic/Latinx leaders, whether academic or administrative staff, for this transformative leadership experience.

During the program, Fellows are guided through leadership assessments, interactive on-line and in-person workshops, professional mentoring sessions and an applied learning experience designed to advance their leadership skills. Campuses are asked to commit to allowing the candidate time away from regular work responsibilities to participate in the lnstitute's activities.

It is important that nominating institutions understand that it is expected that the campus assist nominees in covering the cost of lodging and travel to HLI meetings and events. The Institute covers all other expenses. To nominate a colleague for the SUNY HLI, click here to complete the nomination form: https://sailinstituteforacademicinnovativeleadership.submittable.com/submit/169069/2021-hispanicleadership-institute. Nominations will be accepted September 1st - September 30th, 2020.

Once the nomination is received, nominees will receive an email with instructions to complete the HLI application. Applications received by October 15, 2020 will receive priority consideration. If you have any questions, or require additional information, please contact Kimberly Bobb, HLI Program Coordinator at kimberly.bobb@suny.edu or 518-445-4040.
