Omi Salas-Santacruz
Graduate Initiatives Program Director
Omi is a funcle of two and pawrent of one. Born and raised in La Frontera San Diego/ Tijuana, Omi is an expert and avid border crosser who uses they/them pronouns. They join us to plan and conspire around, under, and over graduate degree academic walls as the Graduate Initiatives Program Director. Before starting their Ph.D. in Education at Cal, Omi survived the record-breaking 2014 North American Polar Vortex by quickly finishing an MA degree in Sociology at Columbia University. As a Cal alumnus, Omi proudly holds the unofficial title of longest serving intern with two MCC graduation medals, and nine NoCR t-shirts. You will find them making popcorn in the MCC kitchen or going through the new transgender studies section of the MCC Library.
