Abstract

This multi-sited case study explored Men of Color (MoC) programs at Hispanic-serving community colleges. By employing frameworks designed to make meaning of Hispanic-serving institution (HSI) organizational identity, we examined how MoC program practitioners define the organizational identity of their Hispanic-serving community college, and how these understandings shape the services provided to Latino men. Findings underscored factors and identity markers that practitioners used to define HSI identity and servingness toward Latino men. In addition, our findings highlighted the problems and inconsistencies that exist when it comes to prioritizing the educational needs of community college Latino men. We provided implications for practice tailored for community college practitioners.
