Antioch University Joins HACU

Antioch University Joins the Hispanic Association of Colleges & Universities

Antioch University Los Angeles (AULA) today announced that they have joined the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU). Antioch University has been honored to serve the diverse communities of the greater Los Angeles area for the last 35 years, and is proud to Hispanic support student success within higher education.

The Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities was established in 1986 with a founding membership of eighteen institutions. Because of HACU’s exemplary leadership on behalf of the nation’s youngest and fastest-growing population, the Association rapidly grew in numbers and national impact. Today, HACU represents more than 450 colleges and universities committed to Hispanic higher education success in the U.S., Puerto Rico, Latin America, Spain and Portugal.

“The Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities has served as the champion of Hispanic success in higher education for over 20 years” said Dr. Neal King, President of Antioch University Los Angeles. “AULA’s new membership in HACU allows us to join forces with other institutions who seek to better and more fully serve the higher education needs of the Hispanic communities of Southern California.”

HACU is the only national educational association that represents Hispanic-Serving Institutions. Each year, thousands of young Hispanics benefit from HACU with internships, scholarships, college retention and advancement programs, precollegiate support, and career development opportunities and programs.

Antioch University Los Angeles will be a featured institution on the HACU website, www.hacu.net , in June, 2008.
