Vote needed: Application for Grajeda Award
by Trey Andrews III 03 Mar '25

03 Mar '25

Hi all, We've had a somewhat late application to the Grajeda Award. The application is attached as well as a note from Joy that adds some context. I would like to have us vote on this. To make it simple, please reply only to me with 'yes' or 'no' by the end of the day. I would welcome discussion as well, but with the caveat that we do not have much time (we received the application only Thursday). For me, personally, I would suggest that we consider whether we want to provide the award to a first-year student simply because they were the only one to apply, especially given that we may have to do some fundraising for this award to be possible in subsequent years. We'll likely need to add this award to our agenda for our spring meeting, but I'll send a separate email about that.

I know of no others (and there are no other graduate students who might even be eligible this year). Would you like to have LLAS vote on whether the award should be given? If so, let's turn this around by March 3. This year, we have only $256 remaining in the Grajeda account, so if we decide to award it, I would recommend a $250 amount, with a commitment on everyone's part to fundraise for the award if we want to continue to give it.

LLAS meetings this semester
by Trey Andrews III 08 Sep '24

08 Sep '24

Hi all, I hope your first week is starting off well. I'm still getting settled into the liaison role and I'll ask for some patience as I get this (hopefully) figured out. As a first task, I'd like to schedule a couple of meetings for us. For the first, we will meet over zoom on September 13 at 1:30. We need to have this meeting early in the year to discuss a few items, including decisions about the LLAS budget. We have $5,000 for the year. While I don't believe we've had a set time we've held our meetings, it seems like we have kept them on Friday afternoons. For this year, I plan to continue that trend and start each meeting at 1:30 and I'll try to keep it to one hour, respecting your time at the end of the week. I realize that some may not be able to make that time. I will send an agenda in advance so that if you are unable to make it, you may still submit any comments you have. That includes for the meeting on the 13th, where I would welcome any ideas or suggested priorities for the upcoming year. I'll also propose that we hold a date toward the end of the semester as items for discussion will likely arise, though I do not have a specific agenda for that meeting, yet. For now, please mark your calendars for November 17 at 1:30. We may not need this meeting, but I want to make sure we have the time reserved. Meeting dates so far: September 13, 1:30 to 2:30 via zoom November 17, 1:30 to 2:30 via zoom Zoom link for meetings: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://unl.zoom.us/j/92287870616?from=addon__;… As a final thing, we now have a listserv for LLAS that you can use to reach out to the group as a whole. You should all be able to post messages here (the email address should be included above). I'll try to use it in communicating with you all. Please feel free to reach out directly to me as well.

FW: Las Voces Zoom summit this weekend
by Trey Andrews III 03 Sep '24

03 Sep '24

Hi All, Please see the attached flyer (and Joy's message below) about a virtual event this weekend. Some of you may be familiar with Las Voces, but it's a collective of Latinx voices here in the Lincoln area. They have several prominent members, including Marty Ramirez, who have worked closely with LLAS and the Institute. Best, Trey [cid:image001.gif@01DAFE2B.ACF7C9E0] Trey Andrews, PhD<https://psychology.unl.edu/arthur-andrews> Associate Professor Psychology Ethnic Studies (Latinx Studies) Co-Director, Minority Health Disparities Initiative<https://mhdi.unl.edu/> University of Nebraska-Lincoln 317 Burnett Hall he/him/his/él From: Joy Castro <jcastro2(a)unl.edu> Sent: Tuesday, September 3, 2024 11:52 AM To: Trey Andrews III <arthur.andrews(a)unl.edu> Subject: Las Voces Zoom summit this weekend Dear Trey, Dr. Marty Ramirez, professor emeritus and friend of the Institute and MASA, wanted the LLAS faculty members to know about this Las Voces summit this weekend in response to the possibility of the deportation of immigrants. Would you please forward it to the LLAS listserv you created?
