HOSTOS MISSION
Some mission statements sound generic and obscure rather than illuminate the spirit of an organization. Not ours. Hostos’ multi‐dimensional mission sheds light on the complex challenges our students face in their pursuit of higher education. It guides the way in which we help students achieve success on their diverse learning paths. And it grounds us as we consider how to bridge the past, present, and future in all that we do. With a compass like this, we feel certain we can set a course that makes us even more effective at meeting the needs of our students. Faculty, staff, and administrators continually bridge the past, present, and future so that the college remains grounded in its historical roots while also being a dynamic and transformative institution.
1
How does Hostos know its mission still stands? The college undertook strategic planning simultaneously with its Middle States Self‐Study, so that future planning could benefit from rigorous analysis of what makes the college strong and where it needs to grow. These concurrent processes put the mission to the test, distilling its words into six underlying themes (as per above) that illuminate the mission’s essence:
1. Access to higher education for traditionally excluded – in South Bronx and beyond 2. Diversity and multiculturalism – language, race/ethnicity, and other demographic
Dimensions 3. English language/Mathematics skills development 4. Intellectual growth 5. Socioeconomic mobility 6. Community service – a resource to the communities served
Hostos’ mission remains as relevant today as when the college was founded over forty‐six years ago.
Who We Are and Who We Serve Institutional Profile
Eugenio María de Hostos Community College, one of 25 units of The City University of New York (CUNY), was established in 1968 in response to the demands of Puerto Rican, Latino, community, and educational leaders who urged the creation of a college to meet the needs of the South Bronx. Its founding constituted the first occasion in New York that a two‐year, public, open admissions, transitional language learning higher educational institution was deliberately sited in a neighborhood like the South Bronx, the nation’s poorest congressional district. With six buildings at East 149th Street and the Grand Concourse, and shared sites in Washington Heights (CUNY in the Heights) and the Grand Concourse and Fordham Road (CUNY on the Concourse), Hostos offers 29 degree options and certificate programs, including academic transfer, vocational/technical training, and continuing education and professional studies. Hostos is also a hub for numerous community and cultural events. Our hallways, classrooms, and lecture halls are often used by community groups and government agencies to present their programs to the neighboring community. The Hostos Center for the Arts and Culture, which first opened its doors in 1982, is a premier events venue for cultural experiences that affirm and nurture the ethnic heritages of the communities the college serves.

Service Region Profile
A majority of Hostos students come from the South Bronx. This community has served as a historical entry‐point for many waves of New York City migrants, welcoming people of a diverse range of ethnicities, including those of German, Irish, Jewish, Scandinavian, African, and Asian descent. Its rich racial and ethnic mix has made it a vibrant hub of political, cultural, and entertainment activity in the Bronx and for the city. Its many artists and musicians (salsa, hip hop and others) have achieved national and international recognition, putting this community on the map for its creative capital.
Unfortunately, the South Bronx holds another reputation that is far less uplifting. The South Bronx is located in the 15th (formerly the 16th) Congressional District, the poorest of the nation’s 435 Congressional Districts, with 42.2% of residents living below the poverty line and households earning less than half of the New York City median household income.
More than 34% of residents have less than an 11th grade education, as compared with about 16% of New York City residents. Only about 17% of residents of working age possess a higher education degree (associates degree or higher), compared to 40% of New York City residents. Unemployment is almost double that for the city as a whole. And more than two‐thirds of residents speak a language other than English at home, which often translates into levels of limited English proficiency that make it difficult to find consistent employment. Hostos has been part of the Bronx rebirth story since the 1970s, connecting higher education with the many community building and revitalization initiatives intended to spur increased business and education investment, tourism, and support for cultural institutions. Hostos has been a partner in and advocate for these urban renewal efforts since its founding, to ensure that this community receives the support it deserves.

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE
Plans are under way to build a Natural Science and Allied Health Complex. The new Complex will support the College's Allied Health programs in Dental Hygiene, Radiologic Technology, and Nursing by housing dental and wellness clinics. These clinics will provide students with practical experience. The community will receive wellness education and expanded services delivered through partnerships with leading health care providers. Additionally, the building will house the College’s growing Natural Science, Engineering and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) programs that articulate with baccalaureate programs at City College and Lehman College, and new high‐employer‐demand Allied Health programs, such as, Physical and Occupational Therapy. By the Fall semester of 2015, Hostos Community College will be the only community college in the United States to offer a full‐time Food Studies program in cooperation and collaboration with the Division of Continuing Education and Workforce Development and the Hunts Point Cooperative Market.
