A Welcome Message from the Student Leadership

Conference Co-Chairs

Greetings Scholars!

On behalf of the Student Leadership Conference (SLC) planning committee, we warmly

welcome you to the California State Capital, Sacramento.

We are honored to serve as co-chairs for this year’s Student Leadership Conference. We are

excited for the caliber of workshops, inspirational keynote speakers, and networking

opportunities, all designed to support your academic and professional goals while enhancing

your personal development.

As one of the largest community college student leadership conferences in California, SLC

brings together more than 500 student leaders from across the state to share skills and ideas while

building stronger community and support systems for our student leaders. As a student scholar

and leader your conference experiences will expand your network across the state, introduce you

to best practices to implement at your local college, and provide you a forum to strengthen your

voice.

There is a narrative, nationally, within our state, and on our respective campuses, that perpetuates

the challenges faced by disenfranchised communities, our communities! During these crucial

times, it is imperative that we voice our concerns and courageously challenge systems of

oppression. Hence the SLC theme: Raising Voices, Empowering Leaders. Over the next few

days, we encourage you to participate in brave dialogues, broaden your understandings, expand

your compassion, and share your experience, your knowledge, and your passion for social

justice!

We hope that you have a wonderful experience full of growth opportunities to enhance your

vision and purpose at your college and in your surrounding community.

Thank you student scholars, student leaders, and to a phenomenal committee of professional staff

who assisted with making this conference a success.

Warmest Regards,

CCCSAA Student Leadership Conference

An Introvert’s Guide to Student Engagement

This interactive session is intended for student

leaders who identify with being an introvert,

shy, or soft-spoken and have a passion for

working with students, even though navigating

the relationships in a large group may not feel

comfortable. Participants will receive tips and

practice with facilitating activities that support

the important work of creating safe spaces and

meaningful connections. As practitioners, we are

often focused on how to effectively provide

students with the information and guidance they

need to be successful. We think about email,

text, Twitter, Facebook, and any other platform

to help us connect. However, the importance of

human relationships has not gone away. It was

not surprising that one of the factors for student

success in the RP Group study, “Student Support

(re)Defined” (2014) is a feeling of connection to

the college. This will happen more often for

students if the effort is intentional.

Luis Godoy

Cardiothoracic Surgery Resident

University of California, Davis

Luis Godoy was born in Michoacan, Mexico.

He immigrated to this country with his family as

a young boy and grew up working on the farms

of Northern California picking and cutting fruit.

By the age of seven, he would come home from

school and work with his parents. There was no

time or energy for homework and barely enough

to learn English. He worked hard and did his

best but always felt like he was falling behind.

He struggled mightily in school and at one point

he dropped out to avoid gang activity that would

have set his life off on the wrong foot. He

became a father during his senior year of high

school. Becoming a teenage father changed his

life forever. Commitment, dedication and

passion became more than words to him; they

became his way of life. Even though he

struggled to juggle work, family and school, he managed to graduate high school on time. After

graduation he worked as a cook, a mechanic, a medical assistant, and eventually an X-ray tech.

It was not until he was in his mid-twenties that he built up the confidence to go back to school to

pursue his dream of becoming a doctor. He attended Solano Community College, transferred to

UC Davis where he earned a degree in biology — and then got accepted to the School of

Medicine.

He could not have made it through such a long and difficult journey without conferences like

this. It was at conferences like this where he heard of others journeys and where he became

inspired to continue his path. It is where he met some of his strongest and most influential

mentors and advocates. He is a strong believer of the power of mentorship and has experienced it

firsthand as it helped him keep his dream of a medical career alive. He now strives to be that

example for others and to help lift others up to achieve their dreams as well.

Today, he is a Cardiothoracic Surgery resident at UC Davis. He is a member of the Society of

Thoracic Surgeons where he serves on a committee for Diversity and Inclusion. He has been

inducted to the Alpha Omega Alpha Medical Honor Society and the Gold Humanism Honor

Society. He is also a recipient of the UC Davis University Medal and has received numerous

teaching awards as a resident.
