Welcome Back, HWS Class of 2028 and Returning Students!
Welcome to your home away from home! 🌟 As we step into a new academic year, I’m thrilled to see our campus come alive with your energy, passion, and creativity. Whether you’re just beginning your journey with us or returning to continue it, the Adams Intercultural Center (AIC) is here for you. This is a place where your voices matter, where your leadership takes root, and where your sense of belonging is always growing.
I want to take a moment to thank Dr. Molina for her incredible contributions to the AIC and for her thoughtful leadership. Her leadership style reminds me that home is a verb. Home is not just a physical structure nor a set of hierarchies, which both have been recently renewed. Home is the kinship bonds we create, the community we build, and the way we support one another. I’m so grateful that my family and I have been welcomed into the AIC, HWS, and the Geneva community, and I’m excited to see how we can continue to strengthen this home together.
As we move forward, I’m eager to work with all of you to make the AIC not only a space of belonging but also a hub for institutional change. We’ll collaborate to amplify your voices, connect your activism with the goals of HWS Strategic Diversity Plan, and ensure that the AIC continues to be a place where your leadership and organizational change skills shine.
My colleagues, graduate assistants, and I are here for you, ready to support and work alongside you. Let’s make this year one of growth, connection, and powerful change.
Here’s to a fantastic journey ahead!
Warmly,
René Guo & Popsicle
