Cynthia Guzman is an Elementary Education student with a concentration in Bilingual Education. Set to graduate in May 2025, she decided to minor in Spanish Heritage to strengthen her academic Spanish for her career as an educator. πŸ‘©β€πŸ«

"As a future educator in a city of ...predominantly Hispanic/Latinx students, I wanted to be able to effectively communicate with their parents and guardians. I made the decision to minor in Spanish Heritage for myself and for my future students. I want them to see that my bilingualism is a superpower." πŸ¦Έβ€β™€οΈ

With the guidance of Professor Carroll, she significantly improved her academic Spanish skills. "The class discussions conducted in Spanish were some of the most fun I’ve had in my four years here, not only that, I met some great people in the program’s classes that I hope will remain lifelong friends," Cynthia. πŸ¦‚

Thank you Cynthia, looking forward to your success as an educator in the Southern Nevada community. πŸ’›

Nevada State student Luisa Fernanda Cano Lima, is an Elementary Education major with a Bilingual Concentration and a Spanish Heritage minor. Set to graduate in May 2025, Luisa's journey has been nothing short of transformative in pursuing her career in education. πŸ“š

β€œMy experience... with the Spanish Heritage minor was engaging, eye-opening, and positively rigorous. As a native Spanish speaker attending a Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI), I was excited to discover the option to practice academic Spanish on campus. This was especially beneficial as I pursued a path in Bilingual education, where improving my Spanish fluency became essential. Additionally, I formed long-lasting friendships with classmates who shared my passion for learning more about our language, culture, and heritage."

Thank you Luisa for sharing your story with us, we can’t wait to see what you accomplish next. πŸ’›

First-generation college student, Alvin Josue Cruz Saravia believes in the importance of Latinx representation education. "There’s a fast-growing Latinx community in Southern Nevada looking to follow their dreams, break family chains, and make our communities proud. I want our community to ...know that it's possible to follow those dreams and create change," Alvin shares.

"One of the things I love about Nevada State is that wherever I go, I see people who look like me. It made it less scary when I came to my first orientation and classes.” Alvin is involved in various organizations on campus, including InterVarsity, the Scorpion Equity Fellowship program, and the Writing Center, where he serves as a Writing Center Fellow.

Beyond his academic pursuits as an Elementary Education major, Alvin loves musicβ€”especially Worshipβ€”and is a self-proclaimed "Cat Dad." He also has a talent for playing the violin, and his favorite food is Salvadorean Pupusas.
