La CASA
Bienvenidos to the 2024-2025 academic year!
La CASA aims to increase engagement and provide support for Hispanic/Latine, low-income, and historically minoritized students regardless of ethnicity, culture, gender, and intersectional identities. Its purpose is to foster a sense of belonging among Hispanic/Latino students and the entire student body. La CASA will serve as a learning space and provide deliberate programming to highlight Hispanic/Latine, Asian American and Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander, Black/African American, and Indigenous populations.

Education equity is a priority of mine because it means that students and community members are informed of education opportunities and that they are provided the resources needed to succeed. As a first generation college graduate and Latina working in higher education, I aim to provide a cultural connection throughout my work. Outside of work I enjoy hiking, traveling, and trying new foods.

Being from a small town and a first generation college graduate, higher education is important to me as it helped create a stepping stone to a greater future. I am a proud son of immigrants and enjoy serving my community in any way that I can. I enjoy traveling, photography, and playing sports. Si se puede!
