Creating a Culture of Servingness for Latinx Engineering Students in Hispanic-Serving Community Colleges

This paper will describe the promise Hispanic-serving Community Colleges (HSCCs) have for creating a culture of servingness, including curricular and co-curricular supports, transfer infrastructure, engineering identity development, and other mechanisms that can positively impact Latinx engineering learners. We will outline current research and trends regarding Latinx engineering collegians at HSCCs. In addition, we will provide recommendations for how community college practitioners at HSCCs can promote a culture of servingness and encourage the development of Latinx engineering students.
