Hispanic-Serving Institutions Career Collaborative
2021 Summit | April 14-15
We are very excited to share that UC Merced is a part of the Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) Career Collaborative! This is a partnership between 13 of the leading HSIs in the country, which are composed of at least 51% Hispanic/Latinx students. Together we have joined forces to create the inaugural Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) Career Collaborative Summit!
The Summit is a two-day event that will provide a virtual platform for 130+ employers to engage with students and alumni through a day of professional development followed by a virtual career fair.
