5 /5 FM: As retired university staff and researcher, we like visiting higher ed campuses during road trips. We had allotted 20 minutes for a drive around at Cal Poly Humboldt. During a short walk around, my eyes were caught by a vibrant mural around a staircase in Balabanis House. We went in to take pictures of the mural and was greeted by a friendly staff who not only welcomed us but also shared with us the Centers mission and activities. It was obvious that Mr. Frank Herrera, the Centers Coordinator, was extremely dedicated to the Center and has an immense compassion and sense of calling to the causes and the students the Center serves. In this age of divisiveness, general morose, epidemic of depression, and a culture of hate, the existence of a Center for justice, equity, and inclusion is crucial for the mental and physical health of college students. I am so impressed by Mr. Herrera and his enthusiasm, I decided to write this to show my support for what the Center is doing.
