Meet Alejandra✨

Alejandra Garcia is a second Public Policy year graduate student
Fun fact: Alejandra has gotten a CA bill signed into law by Governor Newsom

About the cohort:
The professional development cohort will focus on networking, goal setting and professional skills. Thought the quarter we will engage in workshops meant to develop your academic skills and learn techniques needed in professional settings to land your dream goal.

Meet Melissa ✨

Melissa Palacios is a second year graduate student at the Teacher Education Program.
Fun fact: Melissa is a double Bruin 🐻

During the Exploring Identities Cohort, we will examine and reflect on our positionalities, a “concept that acknowledges that we are all raced, classed, and gendered, and that these identities are relational, complex, and fluid positions, rather than essential qualities (Martin & Gunten, 2002, p. 46). Our positionalities involve issues of privilege, marginalization, and power.

While folks are not required to sign up for every quarter, this cohort is designed to build on from previous cohorts.
Fall: My identity
Winter: Our identity
Spring: Identity and Social Justice

Meet Iran ✨
Iran Valladares is a 2nd year Psychology major.
Fun fact: Iran is a leo :)

Being Mindful cohort✨
This cohort focuses on self-love and self-care and learning how to apply it in your life. It’s important not to neglect your mental health as we find a way to balance everything in our college journey. We will be participating in many groups and individual activities, including crafts, journaling, etc. to promote positivity and healing.

Hey UndocuBruins!🐻✨
We are so excited to start the academic year in community!

Stay tuned to meet our awesome mentors and join one of our cohort!
