LONG BEACH - On Saturday April 29, the California-Mexico Studies Center (CMSC) successfully convened the first program orientation where all 34 selected and confirmed participants of the Summer 2017 California-Mexico Dreamers Study Abroad Program came together for the first time.
Also present at the orientation were Dr. Ana María Jaramillo, coordinator of the Department of Population Studies at El Colegio de la Frontera Norte (COLEF), and COLEF students who visited from Mexico to personally meet the delegation of Dreamers that will be participating in the CMD Summer 2017 program.
As you may recall from previous newsletters, the CMD Summer 2017 program is the first of our #DreamersStudyAbroad programs that will take place at El Colegio de la Frontera Norte (COLEF) on their campus in Tijuana, Baja California from August 1 to Aug. 21, 2017.
Moreover, the CMD Summer 2017 delegation of Dreamers is our most diverse to date in terms of demographics, as it includes 24 Dreamers from California, 3 from New York, 2 from Wyoming, and 1 from Washington, Colorado, Wisconsin, Utah, and Arizona who represent 23 different colleges and universities across the United States.
Amazingly, 29 out of the 34 program participants are women, which is a gender pattern we celebrate and continue to see on all of our Dreamers Study Abroad programs. Undoubtedly, women are proven to be more courageous and willing to advance their profesional and personal lives.
