ASU and the Graduate College are working to make graduate education accessible for all those qualified to pursue it. To promote inclusive excellence in graduate education at ASU, the Graduate College’s Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Fund provides financial support to graduate students from underrepresented populations and fuels initiatives to enhance JEDI practices in graduate programs across academic disciplines. Your support changes students’ lives and enhances the communities in which they will live and work.
Thank you for believing in me and supporting me on this journey. Receiving this funding validated and strengthened my commitment as an educator and researcher. My commitment to my students and my research is grounded in my experiences as a Spanish heritage language speaker, an immigrant, a first-generation student, and a daughter of farmworkers. My goal is to support Latinx and other underrepresented minority students to obtain a college degree and lead them to become agents of their education. Supporting students in their academic journey is one way to challenge the social injustices underrepresented minority students continue to face.”
