Carolina Alfaro has over twenty years of unparalleled service and experience working with diverse communities both off and on campus. Currently serving as the founding Director for the Warrior Cross Cultural Center (previously the Diversity Center) at Stanislaus State, she takes pride in cultivating an atmosphere that promotes inclusivity and understanding of diverse populations. She oversees the center’s programming related to diversity, inclusion, social justice and equity. Carolina also oversees Undocumented Student Services as well as the Male Success Initiative.

Leading the center with a holistic approach, she is invested in providing students with opportunities that foster leadership, cultural awareness, social justice & equity awareness and community engagement. She is an advocate for marginalized communities and continues to be a resource to help many feel "safe" or "empowered".  Part of her first-year efforts will be to re-name the center by including students to participate in the renaming process.  “I feel so honored to serve as the founding Director for the Warrior Cross Cultural Center and look forward to building transformational opportunities for our students - I’m calling this heart-work”.
