Hello Folks! Im Diana Victa - I currently serve on the Executive Board as a Member-At-Large for the California Council of Cultural Centers in Higher Education(CaCCCHE). CaCCCHE is a professional organization that strives to bring social justice educators in higher education together to: 1) network & support opportunities 2) resources; we consolidate and distribute information, data, models, and other materials relevant to higher education and particularly Student Affairs/Cultural Centers work and 3) education - serving as organization consultants to clarify and articulate issues of diversity in higher education. (For more information, please visit our website: caccche or add us on twitter @CaCCCHE) As a Member-at-Large, my main responsibilities include coordinating social media efforts and launching and developing our new peer-review blog, The PraXis. The PraXis was a result from a conversation that occurred during our Summer 2014 Annual CaCCCHE Retreat. Many of our retreat attendees felt the importance and need of continuing the conversations on Cultural Centers, social justice, multicultural education, identity, and working with students. The executive board thought creating a peer-review blog would be a great platform to continue and facilitate these discussions. We plan to officially launch The PraXis with its first blog post by the beginning of Spring Semester - between early or mid January. Our hope and intentions of this blog is to not only continue the conversations, but to contribute to the field of higher education, student affairs, and multicultural education by bringing in our knowledge, perspectives, and experiences as a community of social justice educators.
