Profile
As the Student Advocate, I assist students with problems or issues the encounter on campus. I am an impartial, objective, and confidential party that works to achieve a fair resolution of disputes and work to protect students’ rights. In addition, I connect students with both on and off-campus resources. I am also beginning to get involved in diversity and multicultural student issues at IUPUI, a strong passion of mine. I am interested in research on racial/ethnic identity issues, particularly in biracial/multiracial individuals.
Why I come to the Multicultural Center
The Multicultural Center has been a long time coming at IUPUI. I am thrilled that students, faculty, and staff from traditionally marginalized groups now have a place in which they can feel welcome. I know so many of the students and staff at the MCC that I almost feel like I work there myself. I’m also the staff advisor for Asian Students United, so I’m so happy that my student organization and similar student organizations have a place in which they can have an office space. I often see students there from all kinds of different backgrounds, just hanging out in fellowship with one another. I’m excited to see what the future holds for the MCC, and I hope to be as involved as possible in that future! |
