Transfer Nation is honored to welcome back Valencia Scott, who previously appeared in the episode, "A Love Letter to Community College: Transfer Students and Prestigious Scholarships" to discuss her experience in being rewarded the Marshall Scholarship as a #TransferStudent. In this episode, Valencia dives into her #TransferJourney and how transferring can be an empowering pathway for students seeking a different social environment, overcoming systemic barriers, or processing traumatic experiences. In addition to discussing how community college encouraged her healing journey and allowed her to learn more about her identities as a black and Latina woman, Valencia also articulates how programs like the UNITE Community and Diversity Center at American River College allowed her to advocate for racial justice in an academic space and within the #TransferCommunity. Valencia's rich experience in leadership and advocacy range from being the Inaugural Mental Health & Cultural Identity Coordinator for the AB540/Undocumented Students Center at UC Davis, to serving as a Student Advisor for the school's Chancellor (Dr. Gary May) and so much more. With her incredible resilience, experiences, knowledge, and insight; Valencia is truly a remarkable #TransferInspiration!
