What would you say to other faculty or institutions considering bringing the My Circle of Champions network to their campus? (VIDEO)

We asked Elizabeth Flores, STEM Counselor at Gavilan College: ”What would you say to other faculty or institutions considering bringing the My Circle of Champions network to their campus?"

Her advice was simple—but powerful: Be creative, be open, and bring students into the process.

Elizabeth encouraged faculty to think beyond the standard model and really tailor the program to their students’ needs. She emphasized how important it is to create space for students to connect with their peers and to feel ownership of the network.

Thank you, Elizabeth, for your insight and leadership. Your words are a reminder that the most impactful programs are built with students.
