Why do you think it is important to study diversity and inclusion?
It is important to study diversity because it is something we are constantly exposed to, and will always be exposed to. To me, inclusion is always important to study, but especially in the context of education. There are too many negative effects that can arise when students are excluded from academics.

Describe a time you felt socially connected to UCLA? 
As a Cub Tour guide and a New Student Orientation Advisor, I get the opportunity to brag about how great UCLA is and also help incoming students plan their career here. Participating in these organizations allowed me to meet a variety of people, attend more events on and off campus, and showed me how my job and volunteering opportunity helped me find my place here at UCLA. I like being able to tell prospective and incoming students about the communities I am part of and show them this is an option for them too.
