Preamble As graduate students in the Department of Hispanic Studies at the University of California, Riverside, we recognize the need to form a cohesive association to address issues related to graduate students and to continue the growth and development of our department. We believe that all students have the right to participate in decisions that affect the conditions and quality of their education. This participation requires meaningful, active, and respectful discourse among students, as well as positive and productive interaction between students and faculty. As decisions reached by both students and faculty impact the nature of the learning environment, it is the intention of the Graduate Students of the Hispanic Studies Department at UCR to ensure that the rights and responsibilities of all persons involved in the learning environment are not abridged. The name of this organization shall be Association of Graduate Students in Hispanic Studies, hereafter referred to as the AGSHS, as it will appear throughout the constitution.

Audeamus was started in 2007 at UC Riverside as a multidisciplinary honors journal for undergraduate students across the University of California (UC) system. Based at University Honors (UH) in UC Riverside, the journal started with the belief that students should be able to showcase any work that was of the highest merit, no matter what it was. There were many academic journals and literary magazines out there, but not as many places where anything could be published. From 2007 to 2015, Audeamus was an annual journal put together by UCR University Honors students, but containing the work of undergraduate students across the nine University of California schools. In 2016, Audeamus published its 10th edition and decided that with its 11th edition, it would become a national journal to be able to accept submissions from beyond just the UC system. The Audeamus journal publishes works of all mediums – from research papers to artwork and photography to musical scores – basically anything reproducible on paper. Audeamus is produced by UCR University Honors students of all disciplines and majors; the students do everything from research and advertisement, to journal design and submissions. Flipping through the pages of any issue, you can find an organic chemistry research paper right next to a literary analysis, and just down the table of contents, you might find some photography or a biology paper. The world is a fairly eclectic place, so why not our journal? That’s what our name means in Latin: Let us dare. Let us dare to publish a journal that is as varied as the world is.

We believe that you don't have to change a thing about yourself to be loved by God. This is a queer centered space that practices and teaches Queer affirming theology. Allies and non-spiritual/religious people are warmly welcomed and encouraged to join if they are reflecting on these issues, recognizing that this is a queer centered space.

Best Buddies was born in the fall of 1987, when Founder Anthony Kennedy Shriver observed the lack of opportunity for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) to socialize with their peers without IDD. He recognized the power of one-to-one friendship to develop their self-esteem, improve their outlook on life, and increase their integration in society. A college student himself at Georgetown University, Shriver knew that his peers had the energy and commitment to positively transform their communities. His inspiration to bring both groups together created the Best Buddies concept. The college program provides an opportunity for college students to be matched in a one-to-one friendship with individuals who have IDD. Social experiences and relationships are a part of life; unfortunately, individuals with IDD have historically been excluded from many of the social opportunities that most people enjoy. The Best Buddies College program works to expand these opportunities through community involvement and friendship, offering people with IDD the chance to explore life in a new way. There are Best Buddies chapters like ours at other colleges and universities all over the country, all of which are part of Best Buddies International. As students, we are in a unique position to make a real change in our community by joining this growing movement of volunteers. You are not just committing to a club, but to a person. There are 9.3 million people with intellectual disabilities in the U.S. who have traditionally been segregated from society. Each pair commits to keep in touch at least once a week through phone calls, emails, or seeing each other at school. Buddy Pairs get together on their time and socialize twice a month. They also agree to attend Best Buddies meetings, activities, and fundraisers. Through participation in Best Buddies, people with and without disabilities are given the chance to explore new friendships and widen their social circles. Best Bu

Patients who see their future medical team trying their best to understand them and make a difference will allow them to have more trust in the healthcare system and more likely want to take care of their own health. We aim to accomplish this mission by teaching our members common and important medical terminology in different languages.

Founding On October 13, 1890 eleven law students at Cornell University formed a Law Fraternity, Delta Chi. In 1922, the Fraternity officially went "general", thus opening its membership to men in all areas of study. Delta Chi, in 1929, became the first fraternity to officially abolish the hazing practices associated with "hell week". Eleven Basic Expectations of a Delta Chi I will strive for academic achievement and practice academic integrity. I will respect the dignity and worth of all persons. I will not physically, mentally, psychologically or sexually abuse or haze any human being. I will protect the health and safety of all human beings. I will respect my property and the property of others; therefore, I will neither abuse nor support the abuse of property. I will meet my financial obligations in a timely manner. I will neither use nor support the use of illegal drugs. I will neither abuse nor support the abuse of alcohol. I will acknowledge that a clean and attractive environment is essential to both physical and mental health; therefore, I will do all in my power to see that the chapter property is safe, properly cleaned and maintained. I will know and understand the ideals expressed in my fraternity Ritual and will incorporate them into my daily life. I will exercise compassion and understanding in dealing with all persons. I will sustain my commitment to and involvement with the Fraternity throughout my lifetime. I will challenge all my fraternity members to abide by these fraternity obligations and will confront those who violate them.

The Highlanders Against Sexual Violence (HASV) Peer Education Program at UC Riverside was launched in the spring of 2015 to raise awareness throughout the UCR community about occurrences of sexual violence. It is the program’s goal to partner with on- and off-campus community resources in an effort to educate on the topics of sexual assault, dating/domestic violence, stalking and healthy sexuality.

Peer educators play an important role by acting as student leaders on these issues, having the unique ability to access student populations, and are dedicated to working with the student body to create a campus culture that values respect and consent. Students who have significant leadership experience and have demonstrated a commitment to sexual violence education and prevention (typically through commitment as peer educators) may serve as a peer coordinator and work in collaboration with the assistant vice chancellor of health and wellness, the Well’s interim director, Devon Sakamoto, and other campus administrators whose work focuses on sexual violence education and prevention such as the CARE advocate, Women’s Resource Center, LGBT Resource Center and Title IX, to fulfill the program’s goals.

Our mission is to increase access to feminine hygiene products in nearby areas to homeless women. While these kits are not made exclusively of feminine hygiene products, they are directed at maintaining adequate access to these cleaning products in order to help reduce the amount of avoidable illnesses caused by lack of resources and accessibility. These illnesses include, but are not limited to, toxic shock syndrome, UTIs/RTIs, fertility issues, yeast infections, increased risk of cervical cancer, and bacterial vaginosis. While many of these illnesses are not deadly, they are avoidable when good feminine hygiene is practiced. Most local homeless shelters do not provide basic cleaning supplies for women since these are seen as “nonessential” supplies, in comparison to clothes and food. This is a precarious misconception that endangers the health, comfort, and safety of the women living in these unfavorable conditions. Our goal is to provide the items and support needed to keep these women healthy, clean, and happy while expanding and serving our community.

La Unión Estudiantil de la Raza, Inc. was founded on October 6, 1992 at the University of California, Riverside by ten individuals. They had an idea that there needed to be a place where one could feel comfortable and respected without any animosity for what one thought, felt, or believed. The members analyzed the purpose and decided to create an organization that would create leaders by focusing on incorporation of ethnicity with indigenous cultures. It was decided on this day that the members would work together to incorporate in the university a Chicano-Latino/Indigenous organization that was different from the Greek system. La Union Estudiantil de la Raza, Inc. has a distinctly different agenda that differs from the existing fraternal order. Our pledge ship is a non-hazing learning process of integration where incoming members can comfortably enter our Brotherhood. Our social atmosphere consists of recreational activities as well as scholastic and moral support.

Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity was founded at Howard University in Washington, D.C., January 9, 1914, by three young African-American male students. The Founders, Honorable A. Langston Taylor, Honorable Leonard F. Morse, and Honorable Charles I. Brown, wanted to organize a Greek letter fraternity that would truly exemplify the ideals of brotherhood, scholarship, and service. From its inception, the Founders also conceived Phi Beta Sigma as a mechanism to deliver services to the general community. Rather than gaining skills to be utilized exclusively for themselves and their immediate families, the founders of Phi Beta Sigma held a deep conviction that they should return their newly acquired skills to the communities from which they had come. This deep conviction was mirrored in the Fraternity's motto, "Culture For Service and Service For Humanity."

I want to establish a vibrant and inclusive space at UCR where Punjabi culture is not only celebrated but uplifted through meaningful events, cultural education, and student support. Punjabi students make up a growing part of the UCR community, and it’s important that our heritage, language, and experiences are recognized and shared with the wider campus. My goal is to create a club that brings students together through a variety of events—such as cultural nights, dance performances, holiday celebrations like Vaisakhi, language workshops, guest speaker panels, and social mixers. These events will offer both Punjabi and non-Punjabi students a chance to engage with and learn about Punjabi traditions in a fun, respectful, and educational way. Beyond hosting events, this club will also serve as a platform for Punjabi-identifying students to connect, find community, and express themselves freely.

Everyone in the UCR Cadet Recruiting team shares the aspiration to one day serve as an Officer in the United States Army. Our goal is to spread awareness of the program to any Students at UCR that share our same aspirations. While there are many ways to become a U.S. Army Officer, ROTC is a method that allows Cadets to attend school and earn a degree while participating in the training necessary to one day commission. The work can be time consuming and weariness may certainly result, but the lessons learned, friendships, and accomplishments made can be invaluable for your life that lies ahead. It is important to note that ROTC at UCR is mostly done through California State University San Bernardino and Claremont McKenna College. This certainly serves as a means to meet people from many other schools around the Inland Empire including California Baptist University, Azusa Pacific University, Cal Poly Pomona, and many others. However, having a means of transportation can make life in the program much easier. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4q6_sN46xQ
