September 2025 AFA Employee of the Month
Awarded to:
Nominee: Brenda Romero
Title: Coordinator, Office of Diversity and Multicultural Affairs
Nominated by: Racquel Melson
Brenda is a part of the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. She strives to serve some of our students that experience unique barriers to entering higher education. Brenda serves the CSN community as an expert, training faculty and staff about resources available to DACA/Undocumented students. She is passionate about removing barriers and helping all students achieve, succeed, and prosper as members of the CSN community and beyond. Brenda revised and relaunched UnDocUAlly training, offering it to faculty and staff over the last two Convocation sessions. This valuable training informs professionals inside and outside the classroom on myths, terminology, challenges, and resources. Brenda additionally serves as a club advisor, helping students create communities of belonging on campus. If her load was not already heavy enough, Brenda added to her responsibilities the oversight of the NLV Multicultural Center, which offered cultural programs to students, educational sessions, and planned heritage month kick-off celebrations. Her efforts help students develop a sense of belonging within our campus community, which is one of the key indicators for student retention.
