Join us for an engaging and empowering Flex workshop where we reconvene as Comunidad de LRCCD which is a culturally-based professional network that serves to enhance professional opportunities, advocate for students, and create a safe and welcoming environment for the Latinx/Chicanx and undocumented communities. Our flex session is intended to build stronger connections, foster collaboration, and support one another as we navigate the challenges and opportunities of the Spring semester and beyond. In this interactive session, we will explore strategies for strengthening our community, sharing experiences, and amplifying the unique perspectives that Latinx staff bring to the college environment.
