Meet the 2025–2026 Phyllis Gutiérrez-Kenney Graduate Student Scholars Fellowship Cohort!

We are proud to introduce the 15 fellows selected for the Phyllis Gutiérrez-Kenney Graduate Student Scholars Fellowship 2025–2026 cohort. These outstanding graduate students come from universities across Washington State and bring diverse academic backgrounds, lived experiences, and a shared commitment to advancing health equity, leadership, and community-centered change. Over the course of the fellowship year, scholars will strengthen their professional skills, engage in meaningful mentorship and learning opportunities, and contribute to work that uplifts our growing Latinx community. Our fellows have already met twice, and it’s clear they are a powerful, thoughtful, and committed team ready to support one another and make an impact. 💪🏽

We are honored to support their journeys and can’t wait to see the change they will help create — during the fellowship and beyond.

Please join us in welcoming this inspiring cohort!

Construyendo la resiliencia de la juventud latinx: Una conversación comunitaria con el Dr. William Martinez

El Latino Center for Health tuvo el honor de recibir al Dr. William Martinez, Director de Salud Mental Pediátrica de la Iniciativa de Salud y Derechos Humanos de UCSF, para una presentación emotiva y enriquecedora sobre cómo apoyar a jóvenes latinx recién llegados al país. El Dr. Martinez compartió información sobre el Programa Fuerte, una iniciativa escolar que ayuda a jóvenes inmigrantes a fortalecer su resiliencia, construir conexiones sociales y acceder a recursos de salud mental.

A través de esta conversación, los participantes aprendieron cómo enfoques culturalmente pertinentes y basados en evidencia, como Fuerte, pueden marcar una diferencia real en la vida de la comunidad latinx y las familias inmigrantes.

Esta inspiradora sesión, presentada durante el Mes de la Herencia Hispana/Latinx, destacó cómo enfoques culturalmente receptivos pueden fomentar el sentido de pertenencia y el bienestar en nuestras comunidades.
