What will
YOUR STORY BE?
From studying nursing at COD to the Peace Corps EXPERIENCE MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE “I always wanted to do something where I could become an asset to the environment and community in some way. Nursing is a rewarding career, but public health allows me to work with the broader community and to address policy, which affects health care and nursing. “Because of my experiences, I am now a more critical thinker and am able to handle personal and professional obstacles with confidence. I often heard ‘The world is our classroom’ at COD, and the opportunities I had there and continue to have now give credence to this statement.” —Stephanie Torres, COD alumna

Latinos Unidos
brinda oportunidades de liderazgo para estudiantes de JJC Latinos Unidos Provides Leadership Opportunities for JJC Students Como el club más popular en Joliet Junior College, Latinos Unidos (LU) es un grupo cálido y acogedor formado por 25 miembros con diversos orígenes y experiencias de vida. El club se esfuerza por hacer una diferencia, tanto en JJC como en la comunidad, al participar en servicio voluntario, difundir la cultura latina y brindar oportunidades de liderazgo para sus miembros. El presidente del club, Víctor Xavier Colón, quien se hace llamar “X”, dijo que ser parte de LU ha cambiado su vida. Cuando era estudiante de primer año, él estaba nervioso ante la idea de unirse al club porque no sabía qué esperar, pero desde entonces su confianza solo ha aumentado. Él logró oportunidades de liderazgo que de otro modo no hubiera encontrado y dijo que LU lo ayudó a encontrar su voz. Él tuvo una de sus experiencias más memorables con LU después de que escribió un poema y lo recitó en el evento Latinx Empowerment Conference, en el que destacados oradores visitan JJC para inspirar a los estudiantes locales cada semestre de primavera. “Mi asesora me dijo que el poema que escribí era importante”, dijo Colón. “Le recordó la cita de Dinos Christianopoulos. “Trataron de enterrarnos, pero no sabían que éramos semillas”. Ella realmente me animó a incorporar esa cita en la introducción de mi poema. “Reflexionando sobre ese tiempo, esa fue mi primera experiencia real con LU y simplemente resuena en lo que realmente es el club”. Además de participar en el evento Latinx Empowerment Conference, los miembros de LU tienen la oportunidad de asistir a eventos similares durante todo el año, incluyendo conferencias como la organizada por el Instituto de Liderazgo Hispano de los Estados Unidos (USHLI) en Chicago en febrero de 2019. Mientras estaban allí, ellos se conectaron con otros estudiantes y fueron inspirados por discursos elocuentes de líderes de todo el mundo. “Fue una experiencia de tres días llena de oradores motivacionales, talleres, programas de activismo y más. El año pasado el club trajo al alcalde de San Juan”, dijo Andrea Herrera, vicepresidenta de LU. “Aunque fue un evento muy importante, también fue divertido. Obtuvimos una gran recaudación de fondos y construimos muchos buenos recuerdos juntos como club”.
Herrera dijo que su experiencia en JJC la ha ayudado a convertirse en la líder que es ahora. “Una de las cosas más importantes que he aprendido es que si no te ves representada en algún lugar, debes traer tu propia silla a la mesa. JJC me dio la confianza para dar mi opinión y ser una líder en nuestra comunidad”. “He aprendido mucho sobre mí mismo a través de Latinos Unidos porque me he dado cuenta de mi historia cultural”, agregó Colón. Además de LU, las oportunidades para los estudiantes latinos en JJC son abundantes. JJC ofrece capacitación académica a través de la Oficina de Asuntos Estudiantiles Multiculturales, tutoría entre compañeros de estudio, asesoría para estudiantes de inglés como segundo idioma, visitas a universidades, desarrollo de liderazgo, recursos para estudiantes indocumentados y más. ¿Tiene preguntas y quiere hablar con alguien en español? Llame al (815) 280-6888 o visite jjc.edu/futuro. Para solicitar admisión en JJC, visite jjc.edu/apply.

As the most popular club at Joliet Junior College, Latinos Unidos (LU) is a warm, welcoming group made up of 25 members from all backgrounds and life experiences. The club strives to make a difference both at JJC and in the community by volunteering, spreading awareness about Latino culture and providing leadership opportunities for its members. The club president, Victor Xavier Colon, who goes by “X,” said being a part of LU has changed his life. As a freshman, he was nervous about joining the club because he didn’t know what to expect, but since then, his confidence has only increased. He’s pursued leadership opportunities that he otherwise wouldn’t have and he said LU helped him find his voice. One of his most memorable experiences with LU was after he wrote a spoken word poem for the Latinx Empowerment Conference, an event when prominent speakers visit JJC to inspire local students every spring semester. “My advisor told me the poem I wrote was important,” Colon said. “It reminded
her of the quote by Dinos Christianopoulos: ‘They tried to bury us but they didn’t know we were seeds.’ She really encouraged me to incorporate that quote into the introduction of my poem. Reflecting back on that time, that was my first real experience with LU and it just resonates with what the club is really about.” In addition to the Latinx Empowerment Conference, LU members have the opportunity to attend similar events throughout the year, including conferences like one put on by the United States Hispanic Leadership Institute (USHLI) in Chicago in February 2019. While they were there, they networked with other students and were inspired by powerful speeches made by leaders from around the world. “It was a three-day experience filled with motivational speakers, workshops, advocacy programs and more. This past year they brought in the mayor of San Juan,” said Andrea Herrera, LU vice president. “Even though it was a great time, leading up to it was fun, too. We did a lot of fundraising for it and made a lot of great memories together as a club.” Herrera said that her experience at JJC has helped shape her into the leader she is now. “One of the most important things I’ve learned is that if you don’t see yourself represented somewhere, bring your own chair to the table. JJC gave me the confidence to give my opinion and be a leader in our community.” “I’ve learned so much about myself through Latinos Unidos because I’ve become aware of my cultural history,” Colon added. In addition to LU, opportunities for Latino students at JJC are abundant. JJC offers academic coaching through the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs, peer mentoring, advising for English as a Second Language students, college tours, leadership development, resources for undocumented students and more. Do you have questions and want to talk to someone in Spanish? Call (815) 280-6888 or visit jjc.edu/futuro. To apply to JJC, visit jjc.edu/apply.

Por primera vez en la historia las dos superestrellas latinas compartirán escenario

cano (NFL).
Las artistas, cuyos nombres circulaban con el de Taylor Swift como las estrellas que se podrían encargar del tradicional concierto que se celebra en el descanso del partido, publicaron fotos con la noticia.
Minutos más tarde publicaron ya una fotografía de las dos, junto con el logotipo del Super Bowl. Jennifer López avisaba de que en el concierto van a “poner al mundo en llamas” y la barranquillera indicó: “¡No hay nada más grande que esto! Estoy tan emocionada por participar en el Super Bowl”. En 2019, los encargados del segmento fueron los integrantes de la banda Maroon 5, con los raperos Big Boi y Travis Scott. Anteriormente estuvo en el escenario Justin Timberlake (2018)
“Dos reinas por primera vez juntas en el escenario más grande del mundo. Bienvenidas Jennifer López y Shakira al medio tiempo”, dijo por su parte en Twitter la (rma "epsi, el principal patrocinador de la liga de fútbol ameri-
"oco antes, tanto Shakira como Jennifer López publicaron en sus cuentas de Instagram sendas fotografías, junto con mensajes en los que la colombiana decía “prepárate”, mientras que la neoyorquina adelantaba: “Esto está pasando”.
y se presentaron Lady Gaga (2017), !oldplay (2016), %aty "erry (2015), Bruno Mars (2014) y Beyoncé (2013). Jennifer López, quien vive en Miami desde hace dos años, dijo en una entrevista reciente “que sería un honor” ser parte del Super Bowl, un evento que se veía religiosamente en su casa, pues su padre es fanático del futbol americano. Desde hace tiempo se venía rumoreando sobre la posibilidad de que la cantante neoyorquina de origen puertorriqueño se encargase de esta actuación, suposición que ella misma alimentó recientemente cuando publicó un video en su cuenta de Instagram en el que decía que el futbol americano (nalmente regresó y esta temporada es “especial”.

Sitios web para obtener más información
Websites for more insight
College Navigator (https://nces.ed.gov/collegenavigator): Los gráficos no son resbaladizos, pero este sitio web federal contiene más datos sobre los colegios y universidades de la nación que cualquier otro lugar en Internet. Con el motor de búsqueda de universidades de College Navigator, puede buscar universidades en el país según sus criterios, lo cual es útil si no está seguro de dónde buscar universidades más allá de las instituciones de nombre obvio y sus propias instituciones estatales. College Results Online (www.collegeresults.org). Las familias suponen que sus hijos se graduarán de la universidad en cuatro años, pero lamentablemente no es cierto para la mayoría. Este excelente sitio web ofrece tasas de graduación de cuatro, cinco y seis años de universidades en todo el país. Lo que también me gusta de College Results Online es que desglosa las tasas de graduación por género y etnia. Zinch (http://zinch.com) y Cappex (www.cappex.com): Estos sitios web son emparejadores en línea que han tomado prestadas características de Facebook que deberían atraer a los adolescentes. En ambos sitios, por ejemplo, un estudiante puede crear un perfil que va mucho más allá de los puntajes de las pruebas y los promedios de calificaciones que pueden compartir con las universidades. Usar estos sitios es una excelente manera de descubrir universidades interesantes que no sabía que existían. A través de Cappex, puede acceder a Meritaid (http://meritaid.com), que proporciona un valioso directorio de becas que ofrecen miles de universidades. College Majors 101 (www.collegemajors101.com): ¿Se pregunta qué puede hacer con un título en biología o danza? College Majors 101 ofrece mucha información sobre lo que puede hacer con docenas de especializaciones, así como lo que puede esperar académicamente si persigue estas especializaciones. College Insight (http://college-insight.org): College Insight, que es una creación del Institute for College Access and Success, ha reunido información detallada sobre miles de universidades.

Applications now available for the 2020 COHORT The Latino Policy Forum is excited to celebrate 10 years of leadership development! The Multicultural Leadership Academy is pleased to announce that applications for year four is now available. This year the Latino Policy Forum will celebrate ten years of leadership development. Now in its fourthyear, the Multicultural Leadership Academy continues to engage, and train Illinois change agents committed to strengthening communities. Since 2009, the Latino Policy Forum has trained close to 200 leaders and emerging stars from more than 85 organizations through the Illinois Latino Nonprofit Leadership and Multicultural Leadership Academies. The Multicultural Leadership Academy will provide a series of leadership workshops to community, policy, arts, and culture leaders sponsored by organizations committed to social change, policy impact, and/or community improvement that serve communities of color throughout Illinois. Applicants may be employers, employees, board members or volunteers at their sponsoring organization. The Forum is committed to creating a diverse network of ESTABLISHED and EMERGING Latinx and African American leaders who are actively involved in social change, policy impact and/or community improvement. The training curriculum will primarily focus on the perspectives of Latinx and AfricanAmericans. Given Chicago’s historic segregation, alliance building across communities requires a deliberate and intentional approach. The Multicultural Leadership Academy will result in strengthened leadership for community impact, increased cross-cultural understanding, bolstered community collaboration to address pressing social issues, and a network of diverse leaders who will be able to call upon each other in the future. A distinguishing factor of the Multicultural Leadership Academy is that we acknowledge the significant leadership attributes inherent in our cultural DNA. We will utilize various modalities, including cultural anthropology, arts, and the creation of sacred space to acknowledge, cultivate and inspire social, policy, and/or community change. We will draw on the traditions of a diverse range of cultures to promote transformative leadership and contribute to a network of community leaders that serve Latinx and African-American communities. “A component that facilitated my growth as a transformational leader is the permeation of the foundational ideas throughout the training that unite us as a one community. The sharing of the other leaders’ ideas and passion for their specific community and work reflected the same passion I have for my own community. It caused me to expand my definition of “my community.” – 2017 Participant
