Presented by El Centro Lead Student Coordinators, Joselyn Salgado Lomeli and Giovanna Fernandez

This is the 1st session of a 2-part Student-led HSI Equity Talks Series titled “From Voice to Power: Students as Leaders, Knowledge Holders, and Change Agents.”

El Centro interns are student leaders who draw upon their cultural strengths and lived experiences to organize impactful programs that foster belonging, support retention, and enhance campus climate at UC Santa Cruz. The internship cultivates community, identity affirmation, and authentic, culturally grounded leadership. For 30 years, interns have advanced the university’s servingness mission while gaining professional skills, confidence, and clarity in their goals.

Most importantly, the program centers culturally sustaining practices that connect identity to leadership and develop justice-oriented leaders committed to uplifting their communities. This student-led presentation highlights how the internship supports leadership development, holistic success, and post-graduation outcomes through frameworks such as Razalogía, Community Cultural Wealth, and Authentic Cariño, positioning interns as co-creators and knowledge holders in advancing servingness.
