The Center Grand Opening represents a significant milestone in the heart of the University. We are pleased that key leaders in SASEEP took up the charge to work on efforts over a period of several years to make the new Native Center entitled the Esaktima Center a reality. 在我们开始庆祝活动之际，我们要为瑞娜·马鼓掌, 本地成功协调员/顾问, Jose Mejia, EOP招生和推广的高级领导和过渡项目协调员, Alejandra Avina, EOP Administrative Analyst, Dr. Chao Vang, 负责教育公平项目的助理副总裁, Anne Cheng, Budget Analyst, and Kevin Nguyen, Lead Operations Analyst for SASEEP, for their work to advance the Esaktima Center and to provide lead guidance in the planning details and execution of projects to bring the Center to fruition.

We also honor the magnificent work of the Esaktima Planning Committee and its members for their commitment and dedication. Together, SASEEP has worked as a unified whole in partnership with the Division of Student Affairs, the Division of Administration and Business Affairs through the work of Facilities, and with outside contractors and community supporters to make the Center projects come to life.

Special thanks is extended to our SASEEP Media Team led by Letrice Fowler for her lead work to market the Center and to showcase the great work being done to unveil the Center activities and initiatives, 还有Phong Tran和University Marketing and Communications. We salute these cornerstone leaders for amplifying the work and assuring its success.

Theme “Honoring Our Native Students”

Background Leaders and Supporters

中心的盛大开幕是辛勤工作的反映, commitment and leadership of the campus to provide a broad range of services and support to amplify the voices of underserved students and to foster an even greater sense of belonging and educational equity support to students from throughout the campus. The first ever Esaktima Center will be housed under the Division of Student Affairs, under the leadership of Dr. Aniesha Mitchell, Vice President of Student Affairs, and Associate Vice President Dr. Marcellene Watson-Derbigny. The overarching Director for the affinity centers is being led by the Assistant Vice President, Dr. Chao Vang. Working together, with Center Coordinator Rena Horse, the vibrancy of the Center and the services it will provide have been highly anticipated with much excitement. This great work could not have been accomplished without the support of Native Success Planning Committee (listed fully on the webpage), the College of SSIS, 民族研究学院和系主任, Dr. Annette Reed, Anne Cheng Budget Analyst, Kevin Nguyen, SASEEP Administrative Lead, Dr. Susan Collins, the Infrastructure Project Lead, 来自设施部的格兰特·沃特金斯和马克·佩里, Karyl Burwell, 战略业务资源执行董事, 和学生事务处IT部的苏西·瓦尔迪兹. 最重要的是，规划团队要感谢罗伯特.
