The presentation by Gardner & Mendoza Immigration Attorneys was really insightful. I learned more about the fear and challenges the Latino and undocumented community faces during Trump's administration, as well as different immigration statuses. It also highlighted the importance of cultural sensitivity and how speaking the same language as someone can help build trust and break down barriers.

One fact that surprised many students was that the number of deportations during Biden’s first 100 days was about the same as Trump’s.

Had a good time practicing Spanish with the community partners. Learned alot of new words.

The end of year celebration was so awesome. One of the highlights was learning how to dance bachata. It was such an exciting and memorable experience.

I had an amazing time speaking with others in Spanish and meeting new people.
