LUCERO

Monthly Program Meetings

Every month, LUCERO scholars will engage in a variety of topics that resonate with the experiences of Latino/a/x students, including: creating a strong and positive sense of community on campus, building strong connections with peers, staff, and faculty, and celebrating the rich cultural diversity within the Latinx community.

Next Level Networking

LUCERO scholars will meet with mentors during programs meeting and engage with campus and community mentors during monthly Next Level Networking sessions. During these sessions, LUCERO scholars are encouraged to learn about mentors’ academic and career trajectories and engage in dialogue surrounding overcoming barriers to achieve goals.

• Estefania Reyes-Reynoso, Maya Angelou Training Center – Diversity Project Coordinator
  • As a first-generation, Latina graduate from Detroit, there has been a great theme of resiliency throughout my educational career which has fueled my passion for being able to make education and its spaces safe and equitable for all students. My prior experience as an AmeriCorps VISTA working with underrepresented K-12 students focused on building community and spaces for students to feel seen, heard, and safe which gave me a great joy and I am looking forward to being able to bring that to LCC. As a minority student who navigated higher education, I understand its complexities; and as an educator that aims to disrupt institutional inequities, I am looking forward to the positive changes that will come from the work I am doing with hopes that it will enable the success of students, staff, and faculty at LCC through the Office of Empowerment.
