To Pivot and Thrive

from Latinx Intelligentsia · host La Profesora, Dra. Michelle Espino Lira

Ep 49 This episode is a tribute to all the student affairs practitioners out there who went beyond the "other duties as assigned" at the start of COVID-19. Student Affairs practitioners had to pivot and find a way out of no way to offer support and resources to students, especially those most in need. None of you have been compensated enough for your efforts! La Profesora talks with the newly minted Dra. Karla Cruze-Silva about starting a new job right before the pandemic sent higher education into the virtual world. She shares her experiences running a summer bridge program that is part of the "Thrive Center" at the University of Arizona. Our Poet-in-Residence and in Resistencia, Gabriel Pulido shares his poem "A Rose From Concrete Speaks".
