PASOS Mentoring
Students may serve as graduate mentors to undergraduate Latinx students affiliated with the Chican@ & Latin@ Studies Program through PASOS: Promotores Académicos Sembrando, Orientando y Sobresaliendo. This program draws on the energy and expertise of those currently pursuing higher education to guide undergraduates to consider graduate school, explore the process, and imagine the possibilities.
Graduate mentors are supervised by Dr. Ramírez Stege to implement vocational support that serves as an additional clinical practicum or internship hours through enrollment in a 1-credit CHICLA 699 course. Apply to become a mentor here!

These spaces include HEART Talleres with elders from across Latinoamérica and the Latine diaspora.
