The Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities announced that Julie Vega, a lecturer of Languages and Literature at Sul Ross State University, has been chosen for the second cohort of its Enlace Mid-level Leadership Program.
She is amongst 54 participants across the U.S. who have been selected to begin the program this fall. The six-month leadership development program for mid-level college and university professionals is designed to increase the number, variety, and quality of Latino/a talent in leadership positions at Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSI) and in higher education overall. SRSU was designated as an HSI by the Department of Education in 1999.
Selectees will participate in programming covering academic and student affairs management, regional institutional accreditation and higher education advocacy issues. Participants will also interact with a professional search firm.
The sessions will be delivered through a series of online meetings and also in person sessions that will take place in November 2024 at HACU’s Annual Conference in Aurora, Colo. and at the National Capitol Forum in Washington, D.C., in April 2025. The program will conclude with a graduation ceremony.
