Issue #1

Welcome to the Monarch Unity Resource Center Newsletter

“Where Every Story Matters”

At San Diego State University, every journey is unique and deserves to be seen, heard, and supported. Whether you're a student finding your place, a staff or faculty member looking to deepen your advocacy, or an ally seeking connection, you belong here.

The Monarch Unity Resource Center was created with one purpose: to build a home rooted in equity, empowerment, and community. We understand that navigating higher education while carrying the complexities of immigration status, identity, and systemic barriers requires more than resilience; it requires support, care, and collective strength.

STARTING AUGUST 2025

The Monarch newsletter is your monthly window into that care. Inside, you’ll find:

  • Upcoming workshops, events, and healing circles!
  • Opportunities for advising and legal support
  • Stories of resilience from our undocumented and mixed-status community
  • Tips for wellness, scholarship highlights, and ways to get involved

Here, you are never alone. The Monarch Unity Resource Center is committed to walking alongside you, whether you need a listening ear, a quiet space, or a vibrant circle of peers and advocates.

Welcome to a space where your story is not just accepted, but celebrated.
Welcome home.

With community,
The Monarch Unity Resource Center Team

Student Testimonies

“The Center became my home; it’s where I studied, cried, laughed, and felt safe. It’s where I met my chosen family, where Cynthia reminded me I mattered, and where I learned to take pride in who I am.”
“As an alumni, I envy current students as I did not have a center to belong to or build community. I didn’t have access to the MURC during my time at SDSU, but witnessing its grand opening reminded me of all the students who would finally have what I didn’t: a support system, a home, and staff leading the way!”
“It is more than a place, it’s the reason I found my voice, my community, and my strength as a student; it gave me the confidence, respect, and unconditional support.”
“The MURC has always opened its doors to me and my wife with kindness and care. I was never turned away, and every time I needed help. I received guidance, respect, and unconditional support.”

See you in August!
