Intentionally serving Latino students
海角直播 Denver stands out as a beacon of excellence in higher education. In 2023, we became the first higher education institution in Colorado to earn the prestigious , and in 2026, we proudly achieved recertification. This recognition reflects our ongoing commitment to serving students from all backgrounds through data-driven practices, evidence-based strategies, and strong institutional leadership.
The Seal of Excelencia recognizes institutions that demonstrate a commitment to Latino undergraduate student success, a population historically underrepresented in higher education. 海角直播 Denver earned this distinction through its efforts in key areas such as student retention, degree completion, transfer services, and institutional culture. Only 39 higher education institutions have earned this recognition, and we are proud to be among them.
海角直播 Denver’s journey toward becoming a Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI) began in 2007, when Latino undergraduate students represented just 13% of our student population. Reaching the required 25% was an ambitious goal, but we achieved it in 2019. Today, Latino undergraduate students make up approximately 37% of our student population, and we continue to build on our commitment to serving our diverse community.
