Today is a special episode in that it’s bilingual—the first part is in Spanish, the second part in English. My guest is Lorenzo Gamboa (Director of Diversity, Inclusion and Outreach at Santa Clara University) and we’re discussing some of the things he believes Latinx families should know as they prepare for college. Hoy es un episodio especial porque es bilingüe: la primera parte es en español, la segunda parte en inglés.

Dejame terminar la introduccion en ingles y ya regreso en espanol.

On this episode, we discuss a variety of misconceptions that families sometimes have, including:

  • The notion that students have to major in a high-paying profession/career

  • The myth that undocumented students can’t go to college

  • And we discuss whether or not students should discuss race or cultural influence in their application — post the SCOTUS decision to ban affirmative action

If you’d like to listen to the English part, just fast forward to basically halfway through this episode when you hear me speaking English.

I hope you enjoy.
