I call upon the agencies, organizations, businesses, and extension services that serve America’s agricultural workers to strengthen their commitment to promoting farm safety and health pro- grams. I also urge Americans to honor our agricultural heritage and ex- press appreciation to our farmers, ranchers, and farmworkers for their remarkable contributions to our Nation. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this seventeenth day of September, in the year of our Lord two thousand ten, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-fifth. BARACK OBAMA Proclamation 8566 of September 17, 2010 National Hispanic-Serving Institutions Week, 2010 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Education is critical to our children’s future and to the continued growth and prosperity of our Nation.

As we look to deliver a world-class education that will determine America’s success in the 21st century, we must en- sure Hispanics have access to the resources and tools needed to com- pete and thrive. Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) are key members of our higher education system and vital sources of strength for our Nation’s stu- dents.

HSIs are committed to im- proving the lives of their students as well as helping revitalize the communities where they serve.
