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.
