Sometimes, you hear a story that makes you want to know more. Kevin Gonzalez has such a story. The last time this story was updated, San Diego Mesa College student Kevin Gonzalez was a 15 year-old heading off to Massachusetts to complete his high school education. In the ensuing years, he has travelled to the other side of the world, built houses, but remained in close contact with his Mesa College professors and connections he made while on campus.
The San Diego Community College District has appointed four new student trustees for the upcoming academic year. Dalia Ramirez (San Diego City College), Zora Williams (San Diego Mesa College), Hailey Hua (San Diego Miramar College), and Haydee Zuniga (San Diego College of Continuing Education), will be sworn in during the June 20 SDCCD Board of Trustees meeting.

On Feb 8, 2018 the Woman to Woman Conference: Protect Your Crown event was held in MC 211, with over 70 students, staff, and faculty in attendance. The event focused on inclusive empowerment for men and women of all ages. Speakers included President Pamela T. Luster, Vice President of Student Services Ashanti Hands, Professor Starla Lewis, and FAST Scholars Counselor and Coordinator Sade Burrell.
The theme, “Protect Your Crown” focused on initiatives involving self-love, confidence, growth, and success focused on the individual. Attendees were encouraged to see themselves as “kings” and “queens”, have confidence in themselves and their opinions, and generate the determination needed to reach their goals.
The main goal of the event was to impart that attitude can be everything when it comes to day to day life, especially against the struggles of negative influences. Often times, people may feel judged or influenced by outside forces. Speakers at the conference focused on inspiring men and women to stay true to themselves and protect their opinions with daily positive affirmations.
