As a&nbsp;result of these changes, Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) are expanding their scope&nbsp;of Latino student success and taking active steps to create learning experiences that&nbsp;promote workforce preparation and foster Latino post-completion success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ACC was one of seven schools to collaborate with&nbsp;Excelencia&nbsp;in Education to examine post-completion success efforts. Others include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>California State University-Fullerton<\/li><li>Long Beach City College<\/li><li>Texas State University<\/li><li>University of Arizona<\/li><li>University of Illinois Chicago<\/li><li>Wilbur Wright College<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Latino student population at ACC is the college\u2019s fastest-growing demographic. The share of Hispanic\/Latinx student enrollment increased 3 percentage points between 2018 and 2021. Hispanic\/Latinx students now account for 39 percent of the college population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Excelencia&nbsp;in Education is a national organization that accelerates Latino student success in higher education. ACC was awarded the National Seal of Excelencia for its positive role in serving Latino students in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Texas Online Colleges ranked ACC the top Hispanic-Serving online college for its commitment to Hispanic students and online programs. The recognition was based on student-faculty ratio, online programs offered, high graduation and retention rates, and academic influence.&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.austincc.edu\/news\/2021\/01\/acc-recognized-top-hispanic-serving-online-college-texas?ref=homepagenews\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read more a<\/a><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.austincc.edu\/news\/2021\/01\/acc-recognized-top-hispanic-serving-online-college-texas?ref=homepagenews\"><strong>bout the honor here.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Austin Community College District (ACC) is recognized for its intentional work focused on serving Latino students by&nbsp;Excelencia&nbsp;in Education.
