Renata Mauriz `17 is the granddaughter of Maura e Idalina, who first taught her about collective care, sacrifice and how it’s okay to not always know what to say. She first cultivated a radical justice perspective growing up as an undocumented immigrant in stolen Lenni-Lenape lands, where she utilized popular education practices to build power within migrant communities and change local policies. She currently serves as the Student Success Program Coordinator for the Undocumented, First-Generation College and Low-Income Student Center (U-FLi Center). In this role, she has worked closely with campus partners to create an equity and asset based FLi Scholars Program (FLiSP) for U-FLi first year students. Through comprehensive programming and strengths-based advising, she provides navigational, social, and academic support to undocumented, first-generation college, and low-income students. Renata is a Capricorn Sun, Scorpio Moon and Taurus Rising who loves to spend time outdoors with her Mama Earth and with queer chosen family.
