News and Announcements
Igniting Culture with First to Go
Lexie Pineda-Soto ’16, Ed.D. ’23, is the Associate Director, First-Gen Initiatives for LMU’s First to Go, which offers resources and opportunities for first-generation college students. Her work is rooted in the Jesuit philosophy “for and with others” and is inspired by her daily interactions with students. “First-generation students give me the courage and ferocity to dare – dare to understand, to dream, to feel.”
First Year Seminar Engages Students Off the Bluff
This spring, as part of Professor Melody Rod-ari’s: Who Owns Art? First Year Seminar course, students were able to visit the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena. The seminar examines the history of collecting art, as well as specific ongoing cultural patrimony cases, so it was crucial for Rod-ari’s students to receive this opportunity to visit a museum that is currently engaged in discussions about art repatriation.
