Thank you for supporting me and the rest of the students as we examined our roles in this work, both within daily lives on and off campus and on a greater systematic level. You showed me that paving the way for this a more just and sustainable system is possible, despite many challenges and obstacles, and you have inspired me to pursue my passions." and "I worked alongside Cecilia during her time at Williams College. She was an invaluable partner in supporting international and DACA/undocumented students on-campus. We collaborated on several programs, events and workshops as well as worked together to advise students. Oftentimes I would seek Cecilia's guidance and knowledge when tackling complex student cases and situations. I learned an immense amount from her and she has been a crucial part of both my professional and personal development. Cecilia is deeply committed to her work and approaches all she does with great care, empathy and understanding. Her passion for intersectional environmentalism is unmatched and she is and will continue to be a leader in the field. Cecilia would be a great asset to your organization and I provide my highest recommendation. "
