Hello friends! My name is Jocelyn Franco (she/her) and I’m a rising junior from Glen Ellyn, IL. I’m an American Studies major with a minor in French and Francophone Studies! As you may see studying and embracing my own culture, as well as those abroad, is really important to me and truly the key to who I am. My upbringing as the Mexican-American daughter of two immigrant parents, has brought to light my passion for advocacy. I continue to work at this through my involvement on campus as the co-chair of LASO and the VP for the Define American chapter here at Carleton! If you see me around campus, it is very likely that you’ll see me drinking an iced chai from Sayles humming along to the latest tune stuck in my head! This year, I am so excited to build greater connections among all the cultural houses to grow and expand our community! As well as continue to foster a space to learn about the complexities of Latinx cultures and communities!
