Expressing support for the designation of the week beginning on September 8, 2025, as "National Hispanic-Serving Institutions Week".

Key Points

• This resolution asks the House of Representatives to officially recognize the week of September 8, 2025, as a time to celebrate colleges and universities that serve large numbers of Hispanic students.
• To be called a Hispanic-Serving Institution, a school must have at least 25 percent Hispanic students in its undergraduate programs. There are currently 615 of these schools across 30 states and Puerto Rico.
• These schools are important because they teach over 5.6 million students and help many low income students get a college degree. This often leads to better jobs and helps the overall economy grow.
• The resolution encourages people across the country to hold ceremonies and programs to show support for these schools. This recognition is meant to happen alongside Hispanic Heritage Month celebrations.
