UCI Podcast: An interview with the Latinx Resource Center’s adelí durón
Opened in late 2019, the Latinx Resource Center is one of UCI’s newest centers. UCI’s status as a Hispanic-Serving Institution and the growth in its Latino student population over the past decade made it logical to dedicate a center where students can build community while accessing programs and resources that celebrate their heritage. On the UCI Podcast, Latinx Resource Center director adelí durón shares insights into how students can effectively use and engage with the center, as well as shares some big plans for the future.
Reminder: UCI is a smoke-free campus
In January 2014, UCI instituted the University of California's smoke- and tobacco-free policy along with its nine sister campuses. The ban also applies to smokeless tobacco products, electronic smoking devices (e.g., E-cigs, vapor cigarettes, personal vaporizers, PV or hookahs), and the use of nicotine products not regulated by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration for cessation or to help people quit tobacco. Marijuana or other plant-based products are also prohibited on all UCI-controlled properties.

A pharmacy-nursing sister act aims to improve the communications landscape of healthcare
Born and raised in Oxnard, sisters Gabriela and Cecilia Perez are first-generation Americans born to parents who immigrated from Mexico. From an early age, both sisters grasped the importance of good communication with healthcare professionals to ensure information did not get lost in translation, as it frequently may for people who are not native English speakers. A 2019 graduate of UCI with a degree in chemistry, Gabriela is now pursuing her doctorate from UCI’s School of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences. Her younger sister Cecilia is a student at the UCI Sue & Bill Gross School of Nursing and aspires to be a pediatric nurse.
