WHO WE ARE

The SEMILLAS Research Team is committed to producing equity-minded scholarship that is centered on increasing outcomes for disproportionately impacted students. As scholars, we do this through a commitment to each other, to our communities, and to the field of higher education. Our work is driven by love, compassion, and the essence of 'lifting as we climb,' cultivating our seeds (semillas) along the way.
