New national co-chairs

In Boston this year we had a change in leadership. Both Jason Casares and Clarybel Peguero transitioned from their roles as co-chairs to imediate past co-chairs. They did an excellent job in moving us forward as an organization within NASPA. The new incoming co-chairs are Adriena Alicea-Rodriguez (Texas A&M) and Alex Gonzalez (University of New Mexico). Here is a short biography about each of them.

Adriana is currently a Hall Director. She is a former fellow of NASPA's Minority Undergraduate Fellows Program (MUFP), now the NASPA Undergraduate Fellows Program (NUFP). She is passionate about student leadership, social justice and diversity education and international education.

Alex is currently the Special Assistant to the Vice President of Enrollment Management. Alex has been involved with the LKC since 2001 in various roles and as a mentor with the NUFP program. In 2004 he received the NASPA IV-West Outstanding Mid-Level Professional Award.

Please join me in welcoming them to this key role in our organization.

What is an RSS?
RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a family of Web feed formats used to publish frequently updated content including, but not limited to, blog entries, news headlines, and podcasts. An RSS document (which is called a "feed" or "web feed" or "channel") contains either a summary of content from an associated web site or the full text. RSS makes it possible for people to keep up with web sites in an automated manner that can be piped into special programs or filtered displays. (from Wikipedia)
