ASCENSO Scholars Community Gala

Join us for an evening celebrating the 2025 ASCENSO scholars!

You’ll meet the scholars and learn about what they accomplished through their fellowships, while enjoying good food, music and community.

This year's scholars are Giovanni Aguirre ’28, Ashlyn Bryson-Beane ’26, Ninelihle Dube ’26, Isaiah Galindo ’26, Vanessa Lopez ’26, Jenny Quintero ’26 and Anny Zermeno ’27.

Over the summer and fall, the scholars have been working on diverse projects around topics affecting marginalized communities, such as wealth disparities in Ventura County and wrongful convictions of Latine youth.

We’re also delighted to welcome to this gathering, and Cal Lutheran, the scholars’ families and mentors from partner organizations, as well as other members of our local Latine community.

The event is open to community members, but please RSVP by Friday, Nov. 14.
