Comunidad,
 
Welcome back and happy week one! At this time of public health crisis, the physical space of the UC San Diego Raza Resource Centro is closed, and will remain closed for the remainder of the Spring Quarter.
 
For all our community, know that we are here for you. The Centro career staff is available and accessible remotely for consultation, connection and conversation. Building community is what we do - even remotely! Contact us if you want to set up a time either over the phone or via Zoom:
Gerardo Arellano, gearellano@ucsd.edu
Claudia Martinez, claudiamartinez@ucsd.edu
Omar Padilla, o 1padilla@ucsd.edu
Alison Salgado, a3salgad@ucsd.edu
Our new hours operation, as we are now working from home, are 9am-4pm. Please send us an email first to set up a time to chat. We are available for: check-ins, consultations, writing support, student org. support, balancing being at home and going to school, having chats with parents if they have questions/issues with this new format, etc.
 
As the Spring Quarter begins and our undergraduate student-staff (i.e. our interns) return, we will begin to determine, and then share, how The Centro will function remotely, including programming. To better help us understand how we can help you, please fill out our survey: http://bit.ly/rrcspringhelp
 
Continue to take are of yourselves.
 
En solidaridad,
 
Raza Resource Centro Staff
