AI Summary

This resolution recognizes and supports Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs), which are degree-granting institutions with at least 25% Hispanic student enrollment. The resolution highlights the significant role HSIs play in higher education, noting that in the 2023-2024 academic year, 615 HSIs enrolled over 5.6 million students, representing 20% of all higher education institutions but serving 31.7% of all undergraduate students and 66.2% of Hispanic undergraduate students. The resolution emphasizes that HSIs are crucial engines of economic mobility, located across multiple states and territories, and are actively involved in empowering communities and leading efforts to increase Hispanic participation in STEM fields. Specifically, the House of Representatives recognizes the achievements of HSIs, supports the designation of "National Hispanic-Serving Institutions Week" beginning September 8, 2025, and calls on the American people and interested groups to observe the week with appropriate ceremonies and activities that demonstrate support for these institutions during Hispanic Heritage Month.
