HSIs are as important as other minority-serving institutions in their contributions to students' academic and personal success. As such, administrators, faculty, and staff at HSIs and non-HSIs would benefit greatly from this text as it may assist in their work and professional development specifically focusing on this institutional type. -- Journal of College Student Development, Volume 57, Number 2, March 2016
