Invitation to Participate in JSRI Director Finalist Visits
Dear Community Partner:
Earlier this year, a search committee was formed to conduct a national search for the next director of the Julian Samora Research Institute (JSRI) at Michigan State University, within University Outreach and Engagement. The search committee has been diligently reviewing candidates and recently conducted virtual semi-finalist interviews.
I am pleased to share that, after an extensive search, we have identified three finalists who will visit campus during the week of December 2nd and the week of December 9th.
Given your prior partnership with JSRI, we would like to invite you to meet with each finalist if you are interested.
To participate, please respond to Alison Vicent ([email protected]), our administrative support for this recruitment, and she will contact you to discuss your availability and add you to the agenda.
Please note, due to the confidential nature of the search, finalist names will not be shared at this time. However, their names and CVs will be provided prior to their respective visits.
Research Study – Latina/x Faculty and Academic Deans participation requested
My name is Lucia. I am a doctoral student at the University of Pennsylvania, Graduate School of Education. I am sending this request to invite your current Latina/x Faculty and Academic Deans to participate in an IRB-approved (IRB #: 853158) doctoral dissertation study.
Problem Statement: Latinas/x are under-represented in senior academic leadership positions including Provosts and Presidents across higher education institutions. There appears to be a lack of career progress from the mid-level. By examining Latina/x academic deans some realities and contextual mediators to their experiences and trajectories can be examined. The research study is situated across three types of higher education institutions (from Maine to Maryland/Northeast): predominantly white institutions (PWIs), Hispanic-serving institutions (HSIs – at 25% total Hispanic federal mandate), and “super” Hispanic-serving institutions (HSIs – at ~50% or more total Hispanic federal mandate).
Participation in this study will involve a 12-minute initial online survey (Stage 1) by any Latina/x Faculty and Academic Deans (any discipline or field) with further criteria used to determine eligibility and willingness to participate in the second stage of the study (60-minute interview – Stage 2), conducted either in-person or virtually. Initial consent is required. Participation in the survey does not oblige the participant to continue with the interview stage.
Please contact Lucia Piñeros-Parra DiNapoli at [email protected] if you are interested in participating and establishing consent (via a signed form) for Stage 1. A secure link to the online survey will then be provided. The survey will remain open until January 15, 2025. We are hoping for rapid uptake of the survey. Please share with your Latina/x colleagues. Gracias por su atencion y ayuda!

Invitation to Participate in Dissertation Study
This message serves as an invitation to participate in a research study that is focused on investigating if Hispanic women faculty and administrators mitigated personal barriers to achieve faculty or administrator positions in health science disciplines at universities.
You are invited to participate in this study because you meet one of the following inclusion criteria; women who self-disclose as Hispanic ethnicity defined as a person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin regardless of race, and hold the position of faculty, department chair, director, assistant director, assistant dean, associate dean, or dean.
This study is part of my Doctor of Education program at Northeastern University and is being conducted with oversight of Northeastern University’s Institutional Review Board. This is my student research. Your participation is entirely voluntary and may be discontinued at any point with no negative impact to your professional standing.
Your expected involvement would consist of an initial interview and possibly two follow-up
interviews over a period of 18 months. Interviews will last no more than 45 minutes and will be conducted either in-person or online via Zoom. Interviews will occur at 6-month intervals. The initial interview will be conducted at a mutually convenient time between May and December 2024.
Following the participation of the initial interview, I will return small excerpts of the transcribed data through email to you to confirm my interpretation of the data. In qualitative research this is known as member checking, in which small excerpts of the de-identified transcripts are provided to the participant for affirmation that student researcher is interpreting the participant statement accurately. There will be no more than 3 member checks for participants and should take no more than 30 minutes of your time, with each member check lasting no more than 10 minutes for each aligned interview. You will be given 2 weeks to review the transcribed data and I will follow up with you after the first week to inquire about questions you may have. Your privacy and confidentiality within all communications will be protected by the researcher as I will use my Northeastern University email address to contact you. If phone calls need to be made, I will use a personal cellular phone to contact you and will not disclose details about the research study or your involvement in the study.
Your participation in this study will assist in generating knowledge that is expected to contribute to scholarly literature of the personal barriers mitigated by Hispanic women faculty and administrators to achieve faculty or administrator positions in health science disciplines.
While there are no direct benefits to you for participating in this study, your feedback will help me understand the personal barriers Hispanic women mitigated in entering into faculty or administrator positions in the health science disciplines at universities.
If you wish to participate, please contact me at [email protected]

We will be awarding an additional twenty-five (25) $5,000 scholarships again this year.
The National AIDS Memorial is an organization dedicated to advancing Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, & Justice. To that end, we are focusing efforts on increasing outreach to both Hispanic Serving Institutions and HBCUs.
Dedicated to continuing the legacy of AIDS educator and health and social justice activist Pedro Zamora, the Pedro Zamora Young Leaders Scholarship supports the academic pursuits of young activists working in their communities who carry Pedro’s torch forward in pursuit of a bold vision that never again will a community be harmed because of fear, silence, discrimination, stigma, or hate.
The Scholarship supports students taking up social justice work in its many forms and whose activism and work is inspired by their own passions, insights, originality, and conviction.
When the National AIDS Memorial launched the program in 2009, its focus was on selecting scholars who were pursuing careers and community work around HIV/AIDS.

- HIV/AIDS research, prevention, treatment, access, and activism
- LGBTQ+ equality and rights
- Health and health justice
- Reproductive health
- Serving in peer education, prevention, and community resource programs
- Racial and social justice
- Immigrant rights
- Drug policy and drug sentencing reform

Proof of acceptance or current enrollment is required. The academic, extracurricular, and/or career pursuits of scholars must be consistent with the goals of the Scholarship program, including demonstrating an active commitment to community justice work, public service, and other leadership roles.
Since 2009, more than $600,000 has been provided in financial support to 154 scholars through the generous support of many partners, including Presenting Partner, Gilead Sciences.

Samantha Vargas Poppe, a consultant to the Lumina Foundation, seeks volunteers for key informant interviews to amplify efforts at HSIs or emerging HSIs to help students avoid or mitigate administrative holds resulting in limited access to registration or transcripts.
Recent research has established that roughly 6.6 million students have “stranded credits.” In this situation, a student can’t access credits earned due to debt at a previous institution resulting in a transcript hold. The practice disproportionately affects students of color and those from low-income families. Most institutions use holds, but there are few formal programs for helping students mitigate registration or transcript holds. Since HSIs have been at the forefront of student success efforts for Latinx students, it is a possibility that HSI officials are addressing this issue.
Ideally, interviewees are an Administrator or other relevant staff from an HSI or an emerging HSI with responsibility for developing or implementing policies, procedures, or other efforts to help students address administrative holds or resulting stranded credits. Virtual interviews will last 45-60 minutes, and participants will receive a $50 Visa gift card. Please complete this short form or contact Samantha Vargas Poppe at [email protected] if interested.
Announcing the 2023 Steps in the Scholar Journey Program! Please help share the announcement and encourage your colleagues to apply.
The University of Arizona welcomes current post-doctoral fellows from all disciplines to apply for the Steps in the Scholar Journey Program. This four-day, professional development program nurtures the pathway to the professorate in culturally meaningful and responsive ways. Sponsored by Faculty Affairs, Native American Advancement & Tribal Engagement, Native American Initiatives, and Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) Initiatives in partnership with Postdoctoral Affairs and academic departments across campus, the Steps in the Scholar Journey Program is aimed at providing professional development for post-doctoral scholars to aid them in next step into the professorate. Each scholar in this program will be connected with an Elder Scholar who is farther along in the academic journey, who will serve to guide and support them in a mentorship role through this program.
The Program will prioritize those individuals whose work is aligned with the goals of the program and those who have a compelling personal connection to culturally meaningful journeys into the professorate, particularly among those underrepresented in their fields. Given the land grant mission of the University of Arizona there is a particular focus of this program to identify and support the future careers of scholars who have a connection with Native Nations. Thirty (30) post-doctoral scholars will be chosen to participate. The University of Arizona will cover lodging, meals, and offer a stipend for travel accommodations.
Please contact Judy Marquez Kiyama ([email protected]) with any questions.

Biden Administration Moves to Formalize DACA and Shield It From Legal Challenges
The Department of Homeland Security on Wednesday issued a final rule to transform the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals policy for more than 600,000 so-called Dreamers into a federal regulation. The rule, effective on October 31, will make the Obama-era policy, which has been governed by a 2012 memo for a decade, more difficult to reverse in court. Many Dreamers, people brought to the United States illegally as children, are students, and DACA has protected them from deportation. (CBS News, The Chronicle)
