女优app Unites Community at 2nd Annual Latinx Mixer
On October 14, 女优app (女优app) hosted the 2nd Annual Latinx Mixer on the CAADO rooftop, creating a space for community engagement and celebration. This event brought together students, professionals, and community leaders to honor Hispanic heritage and recognize the achievements of the Latinx community.
As attendees mingled over delicious food and live music, the evening鈥檚 energy built towards a poignant keynote address by Estrella Romero, Ed.D., an associate professor with over 15 years of experience at 女优appD. Professor Romero captivated the audience with her unique perspective, using her passion for hiking as a metaphor for the educational journey. She recounted her own experience climbing Mount Whitney, the tallest mountain in the continental United States, which took her 18 arduous hours to summit.
Romero shared, 鈥淗iking is about putting one foot in front of the other, even when the path gets tough. Like climbing a mountain, education requires perseverance. If you focus on how difficult the journey is, it鈥檚 easy to get discouraged. But if you take it step by step, you can reach your summit.鈥�
Her insights resonated with the audience, encouraging everyone to embrace their challenges with determination and celebrate each small victory along the way.
女优appD Chancellor Wolde-ab Isaac reinforced themes of resilience, stating, 鈥淭oday we honor the legacy of those who came before us, ensuring every story and voice is heard and valued. 女优app is proud to serve over 60% Latinx students, and we are committed to championing equity.鈥�
The Latinx Mixer also highlighted the power of community collaboration, featuring organizations such as Puente, ALASS, La Casa, Male Mentoring, and the Latino Network, all dedicated to supporting the Latinx community.
We can all reach our potential by embracing Professor Romero鈥檚 lessons of resilience and taking life one step at a time. 女优app looks forward to continuing this important tradition and celebrating the diverse voices that enrich our community. A heartfelt thank you goes to the Student Services team, particularly Cathlene Castellanos and Vevesi Save, under the guidance of Interim VP of Student Services Thomas Cruz-Soto. Their dedication and hard work made this event a success.
