Within these three areas, are a variety of goals to help guide the Leadership Team in it's development of opportunities for it's members. </p> <hr /> <h4>LATINX/A/O KNOWLEDGE COMMUNITY HISTORY COMMITTEE</h4> <p>Testemonios (testimonies) are an important part of Latino culture. The Latinx/a/o Knowledge Community History Committee was implemented to gain knowledge of the formation/creation of the LKC and how our colegas have helped form this Knowledge Community, gain insight from past members of the LKC Leadership Team and understand their drive and motivation to serve this Knowledge Community and store historical documents. </p> <p><a href="/images/uploads/main/2016_NASPA_Conference_LKC_History_Committee_Presentation_-_final.pdf" target="_blank">Latinx/a/o Knowledge Community History Timeline</a></p> <h4><img class="wygwam_image_embed" src="/images/uploads/main/Slide1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></h4> <h4><img class="wygwam_image_embed" src="/images/uploads/main/Slide2.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></h4> <p><img class="wygwam_image_embed" src="/images/uploads/main/Slide3.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></p> <h4><img class="wygwam_image_embed" src="/images/uploads/main/Slide4.jpg" border="0" alt="" /><br /><br /><br />Latinx/a/o KC Leadership</h4> <p>● 2002-2004: Co-Chairs Dr. Salvador Mena & Laura Valdez<br />● 2004-2006: Co-Chairs Dr. Jacob Diaz & Dr. Tonantzin Oseguera <br />● 2006-2008: Co-Chairs Jason Casares & Dr. Clarybel Peguero <br />● 2008-2010: Co-Chairs Alex Gonzalez & Adriana Alicea Rodriguez <br />● 2010-2012: Co-Chairs Dr. Michelle Espino & Dr. Juan Guardia <br />● 2012-2014: Chair Dr. Terry Mena & Vice-Chair Dr. Angela Batista <br />● 2014-2016: Chair Dr. Angela Batista & Vice-Chair Dr. Joel Pérez <br />● 2016-2018: Co-Chairs Dr. Joel Perez and Dr. Sara Mata <br />● 2018-2020: Co-Chairs Dr. Sandra Rodriguez and Maria Genao-Homs<br />● 2020-2022: Co-Chairs Dr. Martha Enciso and Dr. Delmy M.

The Snapshots aim to provide a resource for students, professionals, and researchers interested in Latinx/a/os in higher education. The LKC hopes that the Snapshot reports will be used as a resource regarding the changing landscape in higher education as it pertains to Hispanics/Latinx/a/os.</p> <p>In 2015 the LKC Leadership Team charged the remaining regions with creating similar Shapshots.

A survey was administered to the LKC, the Gender & Sexuality KC, and the Multiracial KC. Three themes (1. Name Change, 2. Practices, and 3. Education ) emerged from the survey and subgroup were created to explore themes. Subgroups reviewed the data, identified presenting problems, implications, and suggestion for future research and practice.</p> <p>The Education Subgroup sought to create and engage in more education on gender identity and expression and the intersection with culture, race, and ethnicity- particularly within the Latinx community. Step one includes creating a list of resources for our membership to access.
