The National Hispanic University (NHU) was a small, private university located in San Jose, California, founded by Wichita State University and UC Berkeley graduate Dr. B. Roberto Cruz. It is the first four-year Latino university in the United States. NHU's vision was to foster "a caring learning environment where students have felt valued and supported at every step in their academic journey. Embracing diversity and multiple perspectives as guiding principles." National Hispanic University ceased operations on August 23, 2015.
