Award Recognition
Inclusion and Advocacy
Julieta Garcia is being recognized for her commitment to inclusion and equity. As Latinx Tree co-chair in the Columbia Mentoring Initiative (CMI) for three years, she played a key role in helping dozens of Columbia first-years find community on-campus. From organizing outings and study breaks to being transparent about work-study, scholarships, and life at Columbia, Julieta has prioritized the needs and interests of Latinx, first-generation, and low-income students in a challenging environment.
Huge shout out to Andy Garcia for being the human side of CMI. A mis padres, no sería nada sin ustedes. ¡Los amo!
