Neli Diaz is a senior graduating with a degree in Psychological Sciences and a minor in Communication. Since summer 2020, Neli has served as the First Year Experience (FYE) Mentor for La Comunidad Intelectual (LCI) and has been an active member of their leadership team for two years. Neli also works in the First Year Programs Office as a student administrative assistant and is a Learning Community Council member. With her support and vision through a change in Directorship, the LCI team has transformed the first year LC curriculum to focus on supporting and empowering Latinx students to navigate their UConn experience by introducing them to a reflective and supportive space to learn more about their resources and celebrate their rich lived experiences. A first-generation college student, Neli is passionate about programs that uplift and emphasize this student population's individual needs, building a sense of belonging and agency in them. Neli has gone above and beyond to take her own experiences and apply them to programs both inside and outside the classroom, which provide transformative experiences for her peers. Neli is planning to attend graduate school to study higher education and student affairs in the fall.
