Reyan Warren, Yiwei Guo, and Lorena Valer—Council members on the impact and future of the AACTE Holmes Scholars Program, celebrating 35 years

1
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:05,240
Honestly, the first, the
conference that I went to last

2
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:08,680
year in California, there was a
set point of the sessions was

3
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:10,800
imposter syndrome.
And that was when I was like,

4
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,080
wow, I'm not the only one that
feels like this.

5
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:15,000
It hasn't.
I hadn't spoken about in my

6
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,240
cohort.
Everyone seemed so confident.

7
00:00:17,240 --> 00:00:20,920
And then I'm like first Gen. and
I'm wow, OK, I'm not alone.

8
00:00:21,240 --> 00:00:27,040
That's the moment.
I'm a second year in the Social

9
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:30,800
Justice for Education program at
University of San Diego, and so

10
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:35,440
when I started my EDD program at
Cal State San Bernardino, in my

11
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:40,000
cohort there were 123.
For.

12
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,920
Black individuals that I felt
like, OK, we're going to have a

13
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:46,480
community, it's going to be a
little close knit and that I can

14
00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:50,200
benefit and actually gain
knowledge from those who are not

15
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,440
like me because there there's a
barrier that I'm able to break.

16
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:57,120
But then once I left my program
at Cal State San Leon Dino and I

17
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:01,240
was looking for a home scholars
program specifically because

18
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,200
when I stumbled upon University
of San Diego for the social

19
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,760
justice and education program,
it's fully online.

20
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,200
And so I was missing that
connection that I'm getting at

21
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,440
Cal State San Bernardino.
But I was thankful that I found

22
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:17,520
phones because I knew I at least
was going to see these people.

23
00:01:23,960 --> 00:01:27,680
Hi, I'm Doctor Jacqueline
Rodriguez, and I'm the CEO of

00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:37,840
monumental milestone in higher
education, the 35th anniversary

41
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,720
of the American Association of
Colleges for Teacher Education

42
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:47,240
A/C TE Homes Scholars Program.
35.

43
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:51,120
Years and still going strong.
Congratulations.

44
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,720
For 3 1/2 decades, this program
has been a premier incubator for

45
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:01,200
equity, diversity and cultural
competence in academia.

46
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:06,320
But to understand the massive
footprint the Homes Scholars

47
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:12,560
Program has on education today,
we have to look back at how a

48
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:18,520
quiet revolution in teacher
preparation began in the mid.

49
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:23,240
1980s a.
Consortium of Deans from major

50
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,520
research universities came
together with a radical idea

51
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:33,880
known as the Holmes Group, named
after legendary education

52
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:39,200
reformer Henry W Holmes.
They set out to challenge the

53
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:43,200
harsh reality teacher
preparation was deeply

54
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:48,680
undervalued in higher education.
They demanded academic rigor,

55
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:54,560
but they also recognize an even
glaring systematic failure, the

56
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,000
profound lack.
Of.

57
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:00,760
Diverse faculty and
administrators leading educator

58
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:05,280
preparation programs.
The initiative grew into the

59
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:10,520
Home's partnership, creating a
seamless bridge between P12

60
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:14,760
schools, national education
organizations and universities.

61
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:19,959
The core goal?
To build a bulletproof pipeline

62
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:24,880
that ensures those teaching our
future educators actually

63
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,720
reflect.
The diverse.

64
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:33,280
World we live in and look at the
return on investment today, the

65
00:04:33,280 --> 00:04:37,760
program boasts an unmatched
degree completion and retention

66
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,800
rate that blows national.
Averages out of water.

67
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,960
In fact, the community grew so
strong.

68
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,960
That it sparked.
The creation of the National

69
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,320
Association.
Of home scholars.

70
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:56,960
Alumni NASA When we talk about
the homes graduates, we are

71
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:02,480
talking about people occupying
the highest echelons within the

72
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,880
field of education.
We see alumni serving as

73
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:11,200
university provosts, college
Deans, state policy makers and

74
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,960
corporate leaders.
The home's legacy.

75
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:20,360
Proves one thing, when you fund,
mentor and protect scholars from

76
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:25,480
underrepresented backgrounds,
they change the entire landscape

77
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:31,680
of education.
Today, we're honoring the 35th

78
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:37,040
year legacy by looking directly
at its future.

79
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:41,120
Joining us.
For this episode are.

80
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,600
Members of the National.
AA.

81
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:50,000
CTE Homes Scholars Council.
And I'm going to ask each one of

82
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:54,680
them to introduce themselves and
give voice to their name is only

83
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:56,920
they can and let's talk.
About.

84
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,760
Their experiences as being home
scholars.

85
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,240
So we'll start with our Madam
President.

86
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,760
Hello, my name is Brianne
Warren.

87
00:06:05,840 --> 00:06:09,280
I was a beginning Home Scholar
at Cal State Summer in Dino, now

88
00:06:09,280 --> 00:06:12,800
a continuing scholar at the
University of San Diego and

89
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,880
current Home Scholar President
for the years 2025 and 2027.

90
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,960
And I'm the history.
And home.

91
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:25,400
Scholar.
So.

92
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,880
And this is the first year in
the home scholars for a while

93
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:35,160
and doctoral students at
University of San Diego.

94
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,800
And hi, I'm Lorena Butler.
I am Cole Spoiler from William

95
00:06:40,840 --> 00:06:43,400
Patterson University and I am
currently the Social Media

96
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:47,200
Coordinator.
OK, so we have 3 council

97
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,480
members, president, historian
and social media coordinator,

98
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,000
different parts of the US East
West.

99
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,400
OK, so thinking about that.
How?

100
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:02,880
Influential was the Home
Scholars program in your

101
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:07,640
decision, if any, to pursue your
doctoral degree at your current.

102
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:11,680
Institution I.
Can keep this off the home

103
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,040
scholar program has.
Been significantly.

104
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:18,400
To me, so much so that when I
began my EDD program at Cal

105
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,520
State Sam and.
Then wanted to.

106
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,000
Transition to a PhD program I
look.

107
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,840
Specifically for an institution.
That had a homes program because

108
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,840
I just wanted to continue the
familial connection that I was

109
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,960
building, the bonds and the
networking that I was getting,

110
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,880
as well as the development that
I was getting just as a doctor.

111
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:41,200
And so it really has helped me
throughout this journey having

112
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,840
the homes program as a
connection that I've always lean

113
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,560
on.
You started as a master student,

114
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,680
correct?
As the EDD student.

115
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,560
OK, got.
It so separate university, yes.

116
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,760
And then transferred.
To your parent institution at

117
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:58,640
San Diego University in San
Diego, you.

118
00:07:59,000 --> 00:07:59,920
Got.
It excellent.

119
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,560
I was actually not introduced to
the home spalling program until

120
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:05,680
I was.
Already enrolled in my.

121
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,360
Program the just when it was
first mentioned, I looked up

122
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:13,200
what it's the for and I think
that I really went for because

123
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,240
of the community that I saw that
they would be able to build and

124
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,600
I'm working aspect of it.
And I think that if in the

125
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:23,520
future I were to ever seek
somewhere else, I would want to

126
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,640
be within the community again of
home scholars and I would also

127
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:30,480
advocate for anyone to look for
a place that is included in the

128
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:31,280
scholar.
Oh, that's.

129
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,640
Brilliant.
Yeah, it's like for me, it's so

130
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:39,200
friend or I say it's like
actually when I came to the US

131
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:44,240
for me and I have no idea about.
A doctorate.

132
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,520
Degree even.
Like the home?

133
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:52,400
School program but my parents
and maybe you can just join this

134
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,280
program and to meet multiple
people they come from.

135
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,880
Different background and you
can.

136
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:03,520
Share your ideas and maybe one
day you can create a new ideas

137
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:07,360
from them.
So that's the reason why I want

138
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:11,040
to come and to meet the
different people, yeah.

139
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,200
So I'm hearing the theme from
all three of you community.

140
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:15,760
Yeah.
Yeah.

141
00:09:16,560 --> 00:09:20,320
So now that you're steeped in
the program, what does the Home

142
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:26,480
Scholars community mean to you?
I think for me it's like the

143
00:09:26,560 --> 00:09:31,120
brain bridge is to make
different people from the

144
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,880
different cultural and it's
also.

145
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,120
Like a.
Space is of a.

146
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,920
Space and you can have you any
voice.

147
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,760
You can speak anything you want
to share.

148
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,480
Yeah, it's a safe space.
It's there in you.

149
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,840
Just speaking to so many people,
you see the intersectionality of

150
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,440
it already, even though we're on
east and others are West, right?

151
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,560
And in the middle, there's so
much that we had when farming

152
00:09:59,560 --> 00:10:02,040
and we're so different.
We all bring so much to the tea.

153
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,120
Yeah, I can only prefer what my
colleagues are saying.

154
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,120
It's been wonderful meeting them
and being around them, and then

155
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,800
you meet just amazing other
people, like you died to Easley

156
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,520
suddenly.
I think this is just an amazing

157
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,360
amalgamation of what the world
can actually bring together.

158
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,920
Thank you for that.
So I'm just wondering, thinking

159
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:26,200
about community, can you give
one example that if it had not

160
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:32,040
been for the volumes program
that you would probably say your

161
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:36,640
program will be more of a shrub
at this current point because

162
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:41,520
you're all at different points
in your doctoral studies.

163
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:45,320
I think first probably where are
you in your program and then how

164
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:50,680
has this community been a
positive attribute for you?

165
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,720
For me, I'm in an EDD program
which is 3 years, so I'm

166
00:10:55,760 --> 00:11:01,040
entering the third year and I am
the youngest one in my pool N

167
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:05,560
there's only six of us.
They're all in later in the

168
00:11:05,560 --> 00:11:07,400
years of their career with them
a second grade.

169
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,560
I'm a second grade teacher and I
didn't identify depending on

170
00:11:10,560 --> 00:11:16,040
naval war and it was this that I
don't think that enjoying not

171
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,480
making the age difference is
also the great race and age

172
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:23,080
difference great.
I think it's easier to see like

173
00:11:23,560 --> 00:11:26,440
where I don't believe into them
of having kids and doing that

174
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,040
part of life where here we're
all very active in the

175
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:34,160
community, but also just I guess
background why it's rate

176
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:35,760
demographic lies and we can
believe.

177
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,240
So I don't think that I would be
having the same dream.

178
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,600
I was not part of the most.
Yeah, pay you so.

179
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,840
And I do know that at among
scholars, current scholars,

180
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,840
there's a dearth or.
Range of age.

181
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:54,400
And personal, professional
cultural differences in

182
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,560
backgrounds.
What would be 1 specific moment

183
00:11:57,560 --> 00:12:01,200
that you realize, oh thank
goodness for the Stone Scotland

184
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:05,640
program existing and riding your
current cohort at your home?

185
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,000
Institution.
Honestly, the first, the

186
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,360
conference that I went to last
year in California, there was a

187
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,840
set, one of the sessions was
imposter syndrome.

188
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,400
And that was when I was like,
wow, I'm not the only one that

189
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:17,880
feels like this.
It hasn't.

190
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:19,640
I hadn't been spoken about in my
cohort.

191
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:23,000
Everyone seemed so confident.
And then I'm like first Gen. and

192
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,640
I'm wow, OK, I'm not alone.
That's.

193
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:31,240
A moment.
I'm a second year in the Social

194
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,800
Justice for Education program at
University of San Diego.

195
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:38,680
And so when I started my EDD
program at Cal State San

196
00:12:38,680 --> 00:12:45,680
Bernardino, in my cohort there
were 1234 black individuals that

197
00:12:45,680 --> 00:12:47,720
I felt like, OK, we're going to
have a community.

198
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:51,880
It's going to be a little close
knit and that I can benefit and

199
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,920
actually gain knowledge from
those who are not like me

200
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,600
because there there's a barrier
that I'm able to break.

201
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,240
But then once I left my program
at Cal State San Bernardino and

202
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,480
I was looking for a home
scholars program specifically

203
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:08,000
because when I stumbled upon
University of San Diego for the

204
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,960
social justice and education
program, it's fully online.

205
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,400
And so I was missing that
connection that I'm getting at

206
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,600
Cal State San Bernardino.
But I was thankful that I found

207
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:22,280
phones because I knew I at least
was going to see these people in

208
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,560
these dollars twice a year.
I was at least going to have to

209
00:13:25,560 --> 00:13:28,840
talk to them every month.
I was at least going to have

210
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:32,880
that extended outreach that I'm
missing by going into my classes

211
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,760
every day.
And so Cal State San, you know,

212
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:40,160
really tell me how much being
around people is what I thrive

213
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:41,880
off of.
Being in community, seeing

214
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,280
people smiling faces, that's
what I thrive off.

215
00:13:44,560 --> 00:13:47,640
So that was the evidence of how
when you decide to transition,

216
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,920
you're looking for community in
some regards.

217
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:52,840
Yeah.
So I want to you mention

218
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,600
something about meeting twice a
year as a columns scholars.

219
00:13:56,680 --> 00:13:58,960
Can you flesh that out for us a
minute?

220
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:03,000
What are those teen times a year
that you anticipate then you're

221
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,120
going to meet as a group?
Yeah.

222
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:11,000
So last year or my first year in
homes, when I went to the annual

223
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:16,520
homes pre conference and I was
just so enamored by everybody

224
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,320
around.
The suits, the business casual,

225
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,600
the outfits, it was just.
The people.

226
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,920
From close to close it was so
cool and I guess I was probably

227
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,480
all over the place because that
was why they was like, you going

228
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,440
to be the next president.
I was like, oh damn shit.

229
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:31,440
I don't know what I got myself
into.

230
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:35,360
But then when I came back my
second year, I was like, wow,

231
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,360
now I have the annual pre
conference, look forward to that

232
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:42,400
happens every February.
And I know that if I'm not doing

233
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,280
something, I'm doing that.
And then Washington Week,

234
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,840
Washington week has now it's
been part of who I am.

235
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:49,880
I tell people now I'm like, I
work on the hill.

236
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,320
I'm like, you know what I do?
I work on the hill.

237
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,760
So I'm like, this is something
that I look forward to these two

238
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,960
events because I at least know
I'm going to be in community

239
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:03,880
twice a year and that's another.
Point So what about the rest of

240
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:07,480
the both of you and the
conference that happens every

241
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:11,400
year, often referred to as the
pre conference as part of the A

242
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:15,560
A/C TE annual meeting in which
the home scholars and home

243
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:20,080
scholars alumni and those who
support the home scholars meet a

244
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:24,200
few days prior to the kickoff of
the annual meeting.

245
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:29,760
And then again, he we're here in
DC for Washington Week 2026.

246
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:35,800
So whatever your experiences
around either one the annual

247
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,960
meeting or pre conference and
Washington Week.

248
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:46,360
Like for the parade conferences
is like you can show your

249
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:51,000
posters and you can show your
different topic.

250
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,800
With each others.
And maybe they will, they can

251
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,600
give you something suggestion
for your research.

252
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:05,520
And like last time, actually I
use English activity for the

253
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:09,360
posters and some people come to
my.

254
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:13,800
Poster and to.
Join the activity to help me

255
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,480
find the new direction for my
next research.

256
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:23,520
So I think that is the one goal
that I want to join to the pre

257
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:28,320
conferences, yeah.
For me, I think the first year

258
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:32,200
is very, I got scared of what
could be great.

259
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,560
I came, I went in and I saw
again the poster presentations,

260
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:39,600
people doing the round tables
and just the conversations that

261
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,920
were happening and how again,
safe space it is.

262
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,560
That's what this year encouraged
me to do a round table and be

263
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,520
able to get that feedback.
And I really appreciate how

264
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,480
everyone and they'll work here
focused on education.

265
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,880
There's like the K12, the higher
Ed and just everyone's different

266
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:57,760
expertise.
I think it's what makes me the

267
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,960
most excited to hear about
because although they might be

268
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:04,079
very different topics, at some
point I got an intercepts.

269
00:17:05,599 --> 00:17:10,640
So the idea that essentially is
as a home solid, if you attend

270
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,760
the pre conference at annual
meeting more than once, you can

271
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:18,839
present more than once, get
feedback.

272
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,079
The feedback is the most
important part because you want

273
00:17:22,079 --> 00:17:25,480
to see what direction you can
take your research.

274
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,480
You want to see how your topic
can flourish and it can grow

275
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,680
into something or how it can
diminish.

276
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:34,120
As I just learned, I'm just
learning on my own.

277
00:17:34,120 --> 00:17:37,880
Maybe you don't need 2-3
questions, so you can let your

278
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,920
you can let your research
breathe off of that one question

279
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,560
and let it flourish.
So, you know, the feedback is

280
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:44,800
something that's the most.
Important.

281
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:48,120
And I see some kinds of
feedback, you know, period, to

282
00:17:48,120 --> 00:17:51,040
fix some wrong things.
More wrong things you can't now

283
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,040
find, but others they will.
Point out that.

284
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,120
So I'm going to go back because
I we were not as part of that

285
00:17:57,120 --> 00:18:02,240
conversation, not diminishing,
but they have to refine it.

286
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,760
And.
I want to go back to this

287
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,720
comment made earlier about
imposter syndrome.

288
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:12,040
So tell us about this idea of
what and I heard all of you talk

289
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:16,040
about being excited that first
year of going to the pre

290
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,360
conference to the annual meeting
and in some ways being, I don't

291
00:18:19,360 --> 00:18:24,240
want to say intimidated, but
mesmerized by you're joining now

292
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,200
folks who've been in the program
one or two years, this is your

293
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,640
first year.
How does that help you to

294
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:36,040
address this idea of I may not
be good enough when you come to

295
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:42,080
the annual conference?
I guess I would say just the

296
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,600
everyone called density.
No one's afraid to say this is

297
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:49,560
where I was and now this story,
right, Everyone's very true

298
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,560
about their background, where
they came from and even their

299
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,600
president.
She was in one program and then

300
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,520
chose to be in another one,
right, But she's continuing for

301
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,520
I think that's was very nice
that all density.

302
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:05,680
Yeah, For me, it's things like
the stage and you can just show

303
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:10,200
yourself and you can just focus
on your heart and to say

304
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:14,480
something about your city.
With without feeling as though

305
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:16,760
you're going to be received in a
negative way.

306
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,000
So all three of you are.
Council members.

307
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,440
Wow, in some way that kind of
makes you politicians.

308
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,920
Right, because you have to.
Accept the nomination.

309
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,880
You don't have to have your name
now added to the ballot.

310
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,400
You have to make a case for why
you should be elected.

311
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:43,960
So I have two questions, Why or
what inspired you to run for a

312
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:49,040
council position and what does
that feel like to be on the

313
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:53,040
ballot and have to make a case
that hey, look at me, I have

314
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,240
something to contribute to this
community and you should

315
00:19:56,240 --> 00:20:03,440
consider.
I actually nominated myself and

316
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:08,040
I was just like, why not?
Why I So I actually made one of

317
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:12,400
my sorority sisters and I just
graduated from law school and

318
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:17,440
she made a in her speech, she
said something about sometimes

319
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,200
you're in a room and you're
thinking like, why are these are

320
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,240
so smart?
But remember, you're also in

321
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,880
there, right?
So I think that I, that stinks

322
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:26,960
with me.
So that's why I nominated

323
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:28,120
myself.
I was like, why not?

324
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,840
Why not take this chance?
And at first I was in front of

325
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,480
against anyone, but then someone
nominated.

326
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,840
I was also nominated.
And then that's when I became a

327
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:37,720
little more scary by hearing my
name.

328
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:39,600
I was like, I'm glad I sent that
chance.

329
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,200
Even if I wouldn't have, they
would have my name would have

330
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,560
been seen by the schools, right?
Everyone that gets the e-mail

331
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:46,960
who knows my name was out there,
and I think that's also good for

332
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:48,400
networking purposes, right?
So.

333
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:52,200
Oh that's right, because the
nomination is e-mail ballot.

334
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,680
Is that correct?
I'm not for not nominations.

335
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:56,600
The ballot, the voting is the
e-mail.

336
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,640
That's right.
So it goes out to the entire

337
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,200
network.
Great.

338
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:07,360
So you are the social media
social media coordinator, Yes.

339
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,040
Tell us about the influence of
that role.

340
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:14,080
Social media is just everyone is
on it, right?

341
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:15,720
I think it's, it's such a
powerful.

342
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,200
Tool.
And I love being creative.

343
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:22,240
So for me doing those Flyers,
it's like my stress paper.

344
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,760
So I was like, if I can also I'm
the key for people and put a

345
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:29,240
voice to them or just show the
pictures and show them off and

346
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:30,600
all the great work that we're
doing.

347
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,720
That was something that I need
to.

348
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:36,160
I want to take part in this.
So for the listeners, give us

349
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:40,200
paint a picture of one of the
products that comes from social

350
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:46,720
being a social media campaign
manager for the home's Scholars

351
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,080
program.
I mean, I'm always doing Flyers.

352
00:21:49,120 --> 00:21:52,760
I enjoy, I enjoy them.
And she will e-mail me like,

353
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:54,240
hey, you got some.
I do have the time.

354
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:58,360
I will make the time to do that.
And I think it's increased our

355
00:21:58,360 --> 00:22:01,880
engagement online, right?
We have people like even for the

356
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,520
little game for today, right,
People are attacking us.

357
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:08,760
I'm hoping that we get more
repost and then even a CTE is

358
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,240
reposting.
We have so even if it's and it's

359
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,640
not just in the home style
community, right, it's a bigger

360
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:17,040
community and with the ACTE
social media sound.

361
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:23,640
Yes, for me, I think as a
beginning, just one reason push

362
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:27,520
me to run this position is
because I just want to have a

363
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:31,440
chance to meet English speakers
to.

364
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:35,480
Practice my own.
English and to learn the English

365
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:36,360
cultural.
Yeah.

366
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:41,800
So because that is so different
with my mother language, so I

367
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:47,080
say maybe this position can help
me to link different people that

368
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:51,280
speak better English than me.
Yeah.

369
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,560
So that's the most important
reason for me.

370
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:59,000
Yeah.
So when I got history I found

371
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:00,720
that.
Oh, I can't interview.

372
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:08,040
Different researchers and to
summarize their perspective and

373
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:13,160
to to write some articles to
show their ideas to others.

374
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:18,280
That is good because I like
writing something.

375
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:23,720
The Chinese people always good
at writing and writing, but I'm

376
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:27,080
not good at listening and
speaking.

377
00:23:27,120 --> 00:23:31,600
So I think this position can
help me to learn how to practice

378
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:37,280
my own English and can also help
me to use my writing skills.

379
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,880
So, yeah, so that is a mixed
position for me.

380
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:42,840
It's good.
So I really like that because

381
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:47,200
it's also impactful for the
program, but it also helps use

382
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:53,240
the stranger itself in, in, in,
in oral and oral skills.

383
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:58,320
OK, Madam President.
Like I said, that first year at

384
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:01,280
Cal State San Mendino, and I
guess I walked into the pre

385
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,840
conference, I guess I was just
all over the place.

386
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:08,280
And shout out to Doctor Chang,
Charles Barnes and Doctor Emilia

387
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:10,760
Rivera Rivera.
They were amazing.

388
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,920
And they just spotted me on the
Crown and they're like, hey, you

389
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,080
want me the next president?
And I was like, wait a minute, I

390
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:17,640
just didn't even eat breakfast
yet.

391
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:21,720
You let me sit down.
And then as the year just

392
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:25,800
unfurled itself, I just found
myself more and more drawn to

393
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:27,120
what?
The home stuff, all our council

394
00:24:27,120 --> 00:24:31,440
was doing, and I was like, yeah,
I mean, I can do that too, like

395
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,360
Loretta said.
And I've been in this position

396
00:24:33,360 --> 00:24:36,640
two years now.
So 20252026, I'm going to shout

397
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,520
out, this is an amazing council
I had in that first year.

398
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,920
It was awesome working with
them, watching them go off to

399
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:46,520
their different venues, their
different dreams and educational

400
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,240
bounds.
It was just wonderful.

401
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:52,040
And then now this year,
20262027, these girls are dope.

402
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:56,360
Lorena is up probably at 6:00 in
the morning before she even does

403
00:24:56,360 --> 00:24:59,160
anything else.
She going to check that fall and

404
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,840
she is always on it.
Anything I call her for,

405
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:06,760
anything I text her for, she's
down to do it all and she

406
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:10,720
supports the council 1000% And
then he weighs just that girl.

407
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,000
I told her I was like hey I want
you to start writing for the

408
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,720
whole bulletin and she was like
OK this is my thing is and she

409
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:17,600
got back to me proposing 2
pages.

410
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,400
It was all man.
And I was like, Dang, it's just,

411
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,600
it's awesome to meet amazing
people who want to do amazing

412
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,080
work.
And I've always had the thought

413
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,000
that amazing people know amazing
people.

414
00:25:28,120 --> 00:25:31,720
And I'm like, wow, to for me to
know them, I must be doing

415
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:37,000
something I.
Amazing people know amazing

416
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:42,360
people I like.

That's the XE listening Tour for
it, Ed up xe.com.

426
00:26:20,790 --> 00:26:23,790
OK.
Holmes Scholars program has been

427
00:26:23,790 --> 00:26:32,230
around for 35 years.
So from your perspective, what

428
00:26:32,230 --> 00:26:37,150
does that legacy mean?
And thinking forward, because

429
00:26:37,150 --> 00:26:41,350
you're not always going to be
your doctoral programs, how will

430
00:26:41,350 --> 00:26:44,350
you contribute to that legacy or
what will be your contribution

431
00:26:44,350 --> 00:26:48,840
for that legacy?
That's a good question.

432
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:54,280
What?
Does that lengthy mean?

433
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:58,240
And how will you be a
contributor to the legacy beyond

434
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:05,680
35 years?
I hope people see, just as Lina

435
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:09,280
said, the chicken do a tea.
I hope that people can see that

436
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:14,240
in that your authenticity is
what is going to shine brightest

437
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,000
in the room.
And so if you just.

438
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:20,760
Come into a position.
And you love yourself enough to

439
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,680
want to say that I'm here, you
can do this, too.

440
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:28,400
And that's just been my biggest
thing, is that some people may

441
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,480
be shy to speak up.
Some people may have that

442
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,800
reservation of silence.
And silence sometimes in its

443
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,680
most powerful form can do you
some good.

444
00:27:38,120 --> 00:27:40,920
But I want people to see that
I'm not cookie cutter perfect.

445
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,960
I'm the first one to say that my
Sheen stink too.

446
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,520
So you know I'm always going to
be real with you.

447
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:51,240
But there's a part of you that
always can say you can bring me

448
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,720
too.
So my latest is just be

449
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,760
authentic, run to the top who
won't stop.

450
00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:02,480
You I.
Can see that in you.

451
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:06,600
I'm just saying that because I
come to the conference every

452
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:08,280
year.
So yes, I remember your first

453
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,600
year.
I don't know if there's anyone

454
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:16,840
who you did not meet.
So yes, you are one that's a

455
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,520
self starter.
And me socially, not everybody

456
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:24,000
has that same aptitude.
But I think that you said this

457
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,360
idea, be yourself.
And I keep going back to the

458
00:28:26,360 --> 00:28:30,120
imposter syndrome, I think it's
safe to say.

459
00:28:30,120 --> 00:28:33,560
That.
At least in the environment when

460
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,400
you come to a home convening it
feels.

461
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:43,120
Safe to be?
Yourself some 35 year legacy and

462
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:47,120
what would be your contribution
to that legacy going forward?

463
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:53,760
I would say I I won't be able to
remember that we need to be

464
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:57,640
uncomfortable or comfortable
getting uncomfortable, right?

465
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:01,240
I think that just putting
ourselves in position like me

466
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,040
saying I'm going to put myself
out there regardless very easily

467
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:08,080
engineering, how this is going
to help her English skills

468
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,560
great.
And I hope that people see that,

469
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:12,320
right?
And then the nations are the

470
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,640
next person to do that.
Those are our marriage, outgoing

471
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:17,640
and social.
She's going to choose who the

472
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:19,160
next president is going to be,
right?

473
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:22,080
Other people that may see me,
I'm not such a social butterfly

474
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,800
like that.
But I hope that other people

475
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:28,960
like me can continue doing this
right and continue to be common

476
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:34,000
that make a difference.
And they say, I just want people

477
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,880
to say that there is a stage
that you can show yourself to

478
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:42,360
the whole world and you can just
do yourself and you can just

479
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:46,240
open your mouth whether your
English is good or not.

480
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,240
And you have the chance.
And you have the.

481
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:55,920
You can just choose by yourself.
So closing thoughts and I'm

482
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,720
going to try something new that
we haven't done before, but if

483
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:05,560
you had to say. 3 words.
That describes the magnitude of

484
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:11,680
the Holmes Scholars program. 35
years in going strong.

485
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,720
What would those 3 words be?
And because you're academics,

486
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:21,440
you can hyphenate them.
Let's make sure it's a it's a

487
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:28,880
written true hyphenated word.
This is what we call wait turn.

488
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,440
Because it's so hard, it's.
Hard.

489
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:34,920
Instead all these words use
mother.

490
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:45,400
I will probably say
invigorating, purposeful.

491
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:58,200
I'm stuck between contributing
or triumphant.

492
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:02,240
Bad one triumphant.
OK, triumphant.

493
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:06,360
Invigorating.
What was the one in the middle

494
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:09,320
that was purposeful?
That's why little I know the.

495
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:15,440
Girl I was.
Going to say that Alicia, that

496
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:22,560
we played by Felicia yesterday.
He didn't play it, didn't pick

497
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:24,600
it up.
Yeah, those are those are my

498
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:26,280
breed.
OK, let's say it one more time.

499
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:28,400
All three together.
Purposeful.

500
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:33,720
OK, so many that's.
Germany.

501
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:36,280
And triumph.
And triumphant.

502
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:42,360
Brilliant.
And just say.

503
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:48,120
Multicultural.
And another one is a really easy

504
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,200
word.
A star, because here you are,

505
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:52,800
just a summer star.
One more, one more, Yeah.

506
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:59,600
So multicultural superstar.
Superstar.

507
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:16,160
It's important, yeah.
Community of empowerment and

508
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:22,200
authentic.
A community empowerment.

509
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:26,400
Authenticity.
So I want to say that I

510
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,360
appreciate this.
Time to speak with each.
