On Thursday, March 30, local members of the Latino community were warmly greeted at an Open House hosted by the Wayne State University Center for Latino/a and Latin American Studies (CLLAS).

A community-oriented academic program, CLLAS was founded in 1971 by LA SED in collaboration with New Detroit, Inc., and is celebrating its 52nd anniversary. To mark the special occasion, and in anticipation of the national commemoration of the birth and civil rights legacy of farmworkers labor leader César Chávez (March 31), the Center held the open house event at its new, expanded facility located on the 7th floor of the Student Center Building in the heart of the WSU campus. Following a buffet-style dinner, networking opportunities and a walk-through tour, Wayne State University Provost Mark Kornbluh and Dean of Students David Strauss welcomed the guests, many of whom were alumni, community leaders and some corporate partners.

Dr. Kornbluh applauded the Center’s commitment to the University’s urban mission and its learning community model, which continues to have a positive impact on student academic success throughout campus. Dean Strauss spoke highly of the Center’s cohesiveness and family-like atmosphere, as evidenced by the visible presence of Latin@ students who frequent its various offices and common spaces.

Since its founding, more than 2,500 students have participated in CLLAS programs, and as of the fall 2022 semester, 213 WSU students were actively enrolled. Nearly 75 percent of students at the Center hail from the City of Detroit, with others coming from surrounding communities in Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties and beyond. Eighty-eight percent of CLLAS students are the first in their families to attend college.

Recent alumni include four students in medical school, four students in Ph.D. programs, numerous students in master’s programs and dozens more in promising careers across various industries, including those related to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). These success stories are among a series of accomplishments in the areas of student support, faculty research, community partnerships and university advocacy that led to the recent renewal of the Center’s charter that was unanimously approved by the WSU Board of Governors through January 2029. They lauded its exemplary performance and the leadership of director Dr. Jorge L. Chinea.

CLLAS assistant director, Melissa Miranda-Morse, facilitated a well-organized, pivotal informational session that updated guests about the Center’s move to its new physical location and the changing of the guard among its academic support staff. Recent staff changes include the departure of the Center Program adviser, Dr. Zach Morales, who was named director of the McNair Scholars Program on campus, and his substitution with Estenia Elisevich, LLMSW, from California who has an MSW degree from Wayne State University. In addition, College-to-Career adviser Tamara Serrano-Chandler left the Center to become the diversity and inclusion coordinator at Xavier University in Ohio. She was replaced by Southwest Detroit native Micheline Silva, LLMSW, a CLLAS alumna who earned an MSW from the University of Michigan.

Both Ms. Silva and Ms. Elisevich provided overviews of their respective programs, elaborating on some of the ones just mentioned, which are key components of the Center’s efforts to recruit, retain and graduate students. Together, these benchmark educational strategies offer inter-laced, wrap-around services designed to empower and accelerate their successful degree completion goals.

Thanks to the generous financial support of campus and community partners, the Center has developed and/or enhanced much of that programming making it possible for many students to experience valuable external internships and engage in both classroom and participatory community-based research. Critical program support has been received from the DTE Energy Foundation, the Leven Foundation, the Ford Motor Company Community Corps and the Mexican Consulate’s IME Becas, as well as field placement partnerships with local nonprofit social service agencies and K-12 schools.

Ms. Miranda-Morse also introduced the two new faculty members, historians Dr. Reyna Esquivel-King and Dr. Carlos R. Hernández III, both of whom began their tenure during the Fall 2022 semester by offering several newly developed classes. She gave a brief summary of the recent publications and research projects of CLLAS faculty and announced the upcoming credit-bearing Summer Enrichment Program (June 29-August 15), the Academia del Pueblo Research Conference (April 21), the El Nuevo Comienzo Graduation Ceremony (May 2), and the Annual Fundraising Dinner (September 22).

One of the highlights of the open house was a panel focusing on students’ experiences at WSU. Each student shared how CLLAS has enriched both their academic and personal lives, examples of community engagement projects they have participated in, and their goals for the future.

The closing Q&A session was punctuated by lively exchanges between community representatives and the panelists. WSU graduating senior and César Chávez Academy alumna Karla Narvaez, who is majoring in Finance with a minor in Latino/a Studies, summarized the spirit of the open house, “Despite the many hardships that I have faced to get to where I am today, I feel supported and empowered thanks to mi familia, the people at the Center for Latino/a and Latin American Studies and their many partners.”

El Centro para Latinos y Estudios Latinoamericanos de WSU abre sus puertas a la comunidad

El jueves 30 de marzo, los miembros locales de la comunidad latina fueron recibidos calurosamente en un evento a puertas abiertas, organizado por el Centro de Estudios Latinos y Latinoamericanos (CLLAS) de la Universidad Wayne State.

CLLAS, es un programa académico orientado a la comunidad, fue fundado en 1971 por LA SED en colaboración con New Detroit, Inc. y está celebrando su 52° aniversario. Para realzar esa fecha especial, y en vista de la conmemoración nacional del nacimiento de César Chávez (31 de marzo), y de los derechos civiles y laborales que dejo como legado el líder de los trabajadores agrícolas; el Centro realizó el evento a puertas abiertas de la ampliación de sus instalaciones, ubicadas en el 7° piso del el edificio del Centro Estudiantil, en el corazón del campus de WSU.

Después de una cena estilo bufé, oportunidades para establecer contactos y un recorrido, el rector de la Universidad Wayne State, Mark Kornbluh, y el decano de estudiantes, David Strauss, les dieron la bienvenida a los invitados, muchos de los cuales eran exalumnos, líderes comunitarios y algunos socios corporativos.

El Dr. Kornbluh aplaudió el compromiso del Centro con la misión urbana de la Universidad y su modelo de comunidad de aprendizaje, que continúa teniendo un impacto positivo en el éxito académico de los estudiantes en todo el campus. Dean Strauss elogió la cohesión y el ambiente familiar del Centro, como lo demuestra la presencia visible de estudiantes latinos, que frecuentan sus diversas oficinas y espacios comunes.

Desde su fundación, más de 2500 estudiantes han participado en los programas CLLAS y, a partir del semestre del otoño de 2022, 213 estudiantes de WSU se han inscrito activamente. Casi el 75 por ciento de los estudiantes del Centro provienen de la ciudad de Detroit, y otros provienen de las comunidades circundantes en los condados de Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, etc. El 88% de los estudiantes de CLLAS son los primeros en sus familias en asistir a la universidad.

Entre los recién egresados, hay cuatro estudiantes de la escuela de medicina, cuatro estudiantes en programas de doctorado, numerosos estudiantes en programas de maestría y docenas más en carreras prometedoras de varias industrias, incluidas las relacionadas con STEM (Ciencia, Tecnología, Ingeniería y Matemáticas). Estas historias de éxito se encuentran entre una serie de logros en las áreas de apoyo estudiantil, investigación docente, asociaciones comunitarias y defensa universitaria, que llevaron a la reciente renovación de los estatutos del Centro, que fue aprobada por unanimidad en la Junta Directiva de WSU hasta enero de 2029. Ellos elogiaron el ejemplar desempeño y el liderazgo del director Dr. Jorge L. Chinea.

La subdirectora de CLLAS, Melissa Miranda-Morse, facilitó una sesión informativa fundamental y bien organizada que actualizó a los invitados sobre el traslado del Centro, a su nueva ubicación física y el cambio de su personal de apoyo académico. Los cambios recientes en el personal incluyen la partida del asesor del Programa del Centro, el Dr. Zach Morales, quien fue nombrado director del Programa de Becarios McNair en el campus, y fue sustituido por Estenia Elisevich, LLMSW, de California, quien tiene un título de MSW de la Universidad Wayne State. Además, la asesora de College-to-Career, Tamara Serrano-Chandler, dejó el Centro para convertirse en Coordinadora de Diversidad e Inclusión en la Universidad Xavier, en Ohio y fue reemplazada por Micheline Silva, LLMSW, nativa del suroeste de Detroit, exalumna de CLLAS que obtuvo un MSW de la Universidad de Michigan.

Tanto la Sra. Silva como la Sra. Elisevich brindaron una descripción general de sus respectivos programas, elaborando algunos de los que se acaban de mencionar, que son componentes clave de los esfuerzos del Centro para reclutar, retener y graduar estudiantes. Juntas, estas estrategias educativas de referencia ofrecen servicios integrales entrelazados diseñados para empoderar y acelerar las metas exitosas al culminar sus estudios.

Gracias al generoso apoyo financiero de los socios del campus y la comunidad, el Centro ha desarrollado y/o mejorado gran parte de esa programación, lo que hace posible que muchos estudiantes experimenten valiosas pasantías externas y participen en investigaciones tanto en el aula como en la comunidad. Se ha recibido apoyo fundamental del programa de DTE Energy Foundation, Leven Foundation, Ford Motor Company Community Corps y IME Becas del Consulado de México, así como asociaciones de colocación de campo con agencias locales de servicios sociales sin fines de lucro y escuelas K-12.

La Sra. Miranda-Morse también presentó a los dos historiadores y nuevos miembros de la facultad, la Dra. Reyna Esquivel-King y el Dr. Carlos R. Hernández III, los cuales comenzaron su mandato durante el semestre de otoño de 2022, ofreciendo varias clases recientemente desarrolladas. Dio un breve resumen de las publicaciones recientes y los proyectos de investigación de la facultad de CLLAS y anunció el próximo Programa de Enriquecimiento de Verano con créditos (del 29 de junio al 15 de agosto), la Conferencia de Investigación de la Academia del Pueblo (21 de abril), la Ceremonia de Graduación de El Nuevo Comienzo (2 de mayo) y la Cena Anual de Recaudación de Fondos (22 de septiembre).

Uno de los aspectos más destacados de la jornada a puertas abiertas, fue un panel centrado en las experiencias de los estudiantes en WSU. Cada estudiante compartió cómo CLLAS ha enriquecido tanto su vida académica como personal, dieron ejemplos de proyectos de participación comunitaria en los que han participado y mencionaron sus metas para el futuro.

La sesión de preguntas y respuestas de clausura, estuvo marcada por animados intercambios entre los representantes de la comunidad y los panelistas. Karla Narvaez, egresada de último año de WSU y exalumna de la Academia César Chávez, quien se especializa en Finanzas con especialización en Estudios Latinos, resumió el espíritu de la jornada a puertas abiertas: “A pesar de las muchas dificultades que he enfrentado para llegar a donde estoy hoy, me siento apoyada y empoderada gracias a mi familia, los miembros del Centro para latinos y Estudios Latinoamericanos y sus muchos socios”.
