Move-in Day, Masked: Winter 2021

Teresa was born in Mexico and immigrated to the United States. She experienced many struggles that she had to overcome to get here, and has conquered many obstacles here including learning another language and adapting to a new country outside of her home.

HDAE and Student Affairs staff members have added some cheer to students’ experience in our isolation and quarantine housing: Kim Equinoa of Student Affairs put together a gift bag for students who stayed over the holidays, and Sr. Custodian Angelica Villalobos has been creating and leaving beautiful paper flowers when she's cleaning the apartments. Students no doubt have appreciated these special welcoming touches.
