Learn how NAVCAL has impacted students' academic, professional and personal lives.
One of my most valuable takeaways from being in NAVCAL was realizing I wasn’t alone in the challenges I faced, as many others shared similar struggles. NAVCAL empowered me with the support, tools, and confidence to advocate for myself and confront challenges directly. These are skills I’ll carry with me far beyond college.

NAVCAL for me means community, support and knowledge. NAVCAL is a community, my community. NAVCAL is safe place for historically marginalized students, where we demystify higher education, challenge each other to become better scholars and instill higher levels of confidence in one another through mxntorship.

For me, NAVCAL means having a group of people that will always be honest and straight-up with me, and who will support me through any challenges I have. It also means speaking up, attempting things multiple times before giving up, and persevering through anything because we have resources and a community we can fall back on.
