Analesia Campos Morales

I am Analesia Carmela Campos Morales, yes I have one of those ‘long Spanish names’. I am a first- generation college student who is apart of Lambda Theta Nu Sorority, Inc., EOP, Student Involvement, MGC council, Panhellenic Council, and IFC council. I have held five different chairs each academic year since my freshman year. Being in these amazing programs and organizations has made me a confident student.

For as long as I can remember I have had to work hard for everything that I wanted in life. Coming to Sonoma State University, I thought I would have to work even harder just to compare to other students. After getting involved in all the different programs and organizations I found other passionate women who share the same experiences as me. By finding my own tribe of strong women, this gave me the idea of helping other women.

Through my work in the Student Involvement office, I developed a discussion based series called S.P.A.C.E.S (She Provides Advocacy for Cultural Educational Support). This program brings together women from marginalized identities to talk about topics such as the ‘Chilly’ Campus Climate, sexual assault, sexism, and racism in higher education. The program has given me more confidence in myself through helping similar women succeed in college. This program is meant to connect women together so that we can support one another through the struggles we will face on our way to success. Remember there is no force stronger than a women determined to rise.
