HISPANIC SERVING INSTITUTION
“The fact that Texas Tech Health El Paso is a designated Hispanic-Serving Institution is a huge accomplishment for our El Paso area. It’s an honor for us to be recognized as a leader in educating Hispanic students. The designation also makes us eligible for major federal grants, which help us pursue our university’s mission to improve the quality of health care in our region. In short, it doesn’t just affect students, it benefits all of us.”
-Christiane Herber-Valdez, Ed.D., assistant vice president for Academic Affairs.
There’s only one health-related institution on the U.S.-Mexico border that’s federally designated as a Hispanic-Serving Institution, and it’s here in the heart of El Paso.
Texas Tech Health El Paso is a proud Hispanic-Serving Institution preparing the next generation of health care heroes to serve our Borderplex and 108 counties in West Texas that have historically been underserved.
Beginning Sept. 16, Texas Tech Health El Paso will honor it’s designation as a Hispanic-Serving Institution with a series of celebrations, panels, guest speakers and community outreach.
