Fire and Roses! In this week's episode of the Transfer Nation Videocast and Podcast, Alexis Atsilvsgi (pronounced: ah-tsee-luh-ski) Zaragoza shares her #TransferStory and her path to advocacy & activism in higher education as well as her how transferring made her who she is today. Transferring from Modesto Junior College to UC Berkeley, Alexis has served as a Board Member on the California Community College’s Board of Governors, the Board of Trustees for Calbright College, the Board of Admissions for the UC system in 2019, and currently serves as the 2020-22 Student Regent for the University of California Board of Regents. She is a McNair Scholar studying rural education for BIPOC and geographic disparity in university admissions. Leadership and student activism are tremendous parts of Alexis's student story and her higher education philosophy. True to the meaning her Cherokee given name (imparted to her by her grandmother), 'Atsilvsgi', Alexis weaves the elements of fire and harmony into all that she accomplishes.
