To help UC San Diego advance its goal of servingness, the UC San Diego HSI workgroup developed a servingness statement that forms the basis of its recommendations and promotes a definition of specific Latinx outcomes centered on racial justice.

UC San Diego is committed to ensuring equitable access and preparing our Latinx/Chicanx students for academic success in college and career. Communidad is who we are and what we do. Students, families, faculty, staff, and alumni are integral members, and racial equity and social justice are priorities and essential to our mission and purpose of Latinx servingness.
