New BSE Professor Gina Garcia to lead Latinx Thriving

Professor Gina Garcia — one of our new BSE faculty members and an expert in Hispanic-Serving Institutions — will be the inaugural faculty chair of Berkeley's Latinx Thriving Initiative. As she begins her tenure on campus, she’s interested in turning research into action: "Is it actually going to matter? Writing about it and having it sit in a journal or a book doesn’t do anything. I can actually do it at Berkeley," she says.
