Hello everyone, my name is Celso Uribe. I am in my second year in the Student Development in Higher Education program (SDHE). I chose this picture because it was a special day for my brother when he got married (the first in the family), such a great time, but then I can't recall the number of times family members ask me the same question: "when are you getting married?"!!

In this class, I hope to learn how to use SPSS and feel comfortable using it and apply it to my future work.

Hello everyone! My name is William Maxton and my pronouns are he/him/his. I am beginning my 2nd year in the M.S Counseling, Student Development in Higher Education Program (SDHE) here at CSULB. This picture was taken in Uptown Whittier about 2 years ago. This part of town holds immense pride in having small businesses thrive and have authentic engagement and collaboration within its community members. One of my favorite restaurants here is called 'Colonia Publica' and I highly recommend it if you want the best fideo of your life.
I am looking forward to sharpening my skills in SPSS so that I can create visual representations of research I am passionate about. Research needs numbers to help validify the narrative that it is telling.

Hello everyone! My name is Danny Murillo. I am in the M.A. in Education with an option in the Social & Cultural Analysis of Education. The picture I selected was from a recent trip to Cabo San Lucas with my brother. This trip was to celebrate his decision to apply for a Ph.D. & J.D. dual degree program. He's applying this fall and graduating from UCSB this spring semester.

I am looking forward to deepening my understanding of quantitative research to become a more well-rounded research lab coordinator. This year, I will be the Research Coordinator for the Project Rebound Scholars Research Lab. Project Rebound is a support program that assists formerly incarcerated individuals at fourteen CSU campuses. As the Research Lab Coordinator, I want to support the Rebound Scholars in learning as much as possible about research in general.

Hi all! My name is Odalys Zamora and my pronouns are she/her/ella. I am entering my second year in the Student Development in Higher Education program at CSULB. I chose this picture because one of my favorite hobbies is cooking. This was a croissant class that I had the privilege of taking IN Paris, France! These were by far some of the most delicious pastries I've ever had. As I am vegetarian, I like to take my mother's Mexican recipes and re-create them using only plant-based foods. I am most excited to learn how to interpret data and how to use this skill while completing program assessments. I'm looking forward to seeing you all in person tomorrow!

Hi everybody!! Feel free to call me Dana - I'm currently a third year in the SDHE (Student Development in Higher Education) program! I used this picture because it's probably the easiest to identify me by my colorful hair - though it's pinkish-gold right now! But Covid has made interesting pics of me a little hard to come by, haha. My interests are in equity and social justice, especially regarding race/ethnicity and the LGBTQIA+ community!  I'm super excited to learn more about stats - I'm currently working on my thesis and some of the quant articles make my head spin with all the tables, so I'm eager to be able to get a better understanding of them! Sooo excited to spend the semester with you all!

Hello everyone! My name is Dario and I am a second year student in the Student Development in Higher Educational Program (SDHE). I honestly use this picture because I hardly have any of myself, but I really like the background of this photo because it is in the psychology building of CSULB and it was one of the first times I had a professional picture taken of me. If you have cats please post, I love all types of cat. I am excited to get back into statistics even though it is not my strong suit. Strangely enough, while I am not a strong SPSS user, I love using the program itself and had experience during community college. I look forward to meeting each of you in person and online and hope to learn all about you!

Hey everyone, my name is James. I'm in the Social & Cultural Analysis of Education (SCAE) program, currently in my 2nd to last semester before I graduate! This photo was taken by my wife at the courtyard of the Boston Public Library this past weekend. We spent the last few days exploring parts of Boston after she finished an internship in the area--most of it was spent sightseeing and enjoying the different local restaurants. I enjoy education, social justice, and learning different ways to address inequalities in our education system. I'm excited to learn more about how to use statistics to work towards positive change in marginalized communities. Can't wait to meet everyone and see what this semester has in store for me!

Hi everyone, I'm Khiara! I graduated from UCLA last year with a degree in psychology, and am starting the School Counseling program this fall. I am huge dog lover, hence the random pup in this graduation photo! I have a 3 year old boxer who loves to play at the beach. I have 3 little brothers and am the oldest of 20 cousins, so I've always loved kids and knew early on that I wanted a career working with them.
I am excited to learn more about statistics and the software used for them in this course, since I have very little experience with that aspect of research.
I look forward to meeting you all!
