| Me: Hello everyone! My name is Leydi Cortes, and I am one of the new EOP STEM Counselors. I will work closely with Baskin Engineering students and MEP and coordinate the BEES program. I am also the liaison between EOP and Rachel Carson and Oakes College. I am a first-generation college student and was part of EOP as an undergraduate. Education: I had the opportunity to work as a peer advisor in EOP when I attended Santa Barbara City College. I then transferred to UC Santa Barbara, where I graduated with a Mathematics BA. I am finishing my master's in Higher Education Counseling and Student Affairs at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. Hobbies: When I have free time or need self-care, I enjoy reading, watching shows, going on nature walks, or putting together a puzzle. I am very excited to connect with you all. Role: EOP counselors work as specialists in identifying barriers to academic success and developing action plans in partnership with students to ensuring continued enrollment and degree completion. EOP counselors take a holistic approach and engage in academic and non-academic issues including (social, financial, cultural, family, sense of belonging, personal support and navigating university resources). |
