Learn more at capa.org. CAPA’s commitment to diversity is academic, experiential, and personal, including outreach to, and engagement with, the diverse communities that make up our Global Cities Program locations and participants. Diversity is a characteristic of our locations, a subject we teach, an educational principle, and an ethical imperative. Because we understand that diversity and identity can have different definitions for different people, CAPA gives students the tools they need—regardless of age, race and ethnic background, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, and abilities—to fully experience our programs. In addition, CAPA views its commitment to diversity as a form of social justice, in that international education should be an opportunity that is available and realistically achievable for all. × Lee D.

Being a first-generation Hispanic student in his family made him feel proud of accomplishing this milestone in his academic career and allowed him to prove to his family that the world is bigger than what we think. He considers his culture to be very reserved, and having the support from his family to venture out and gain experiences that lead to him becoming a global citizen was the most rewarding opportunity he could ever ask for. During his academic career at UTRGV, he was fortunate enough to have studied abroad more than once and got to visit countries such as United Kingdom, France, and the most recent Japan as a Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship recipient. This allowed him to open and become himself within the world. He got to make global connections with different walks of life, their cultures, and their languages. These opportunities were just enough to allow him to experience the diversity of a culture, get a better understanding of the world, and encouraged him to break out of his comfort zone. × Pre-Conference Only Pricing Member: $374 Non-member: $424 Graduate Student: $324 × Chancellor Lee D.
