Welcome - Bienvenidos

Mayra Cruz"Education either functions as an instrument which is used to facilitate integration of the younger generation into the logic of the present system and bring about conformity or it becomes the practice of freedom, the means by which men and women deal critically and creatively with reality and discover how to participate in the transformation of their world."

-- Paulo Freire

Bienvenidos to My Sitio!

I joined the De Anza College Child Development and Education Department in 2000. I am a mother of two children, José and Joel and grandmother to Tristan and Avianna.  I am actively involved in our community advocating for children and families, and working towards providing educational opportunities and access for minoritized communities.

Since the summer of 2018, I have been serving as a senator for the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges. This year, I am serving as a faculty representative in the Instructional, Planning and Budget Team (IPBT). In the winter quarter, I am co-teaching ASAM 50 Civic Leadership for Community Empowerment.  For student mentorship and advising, feel free to email me at cruzmayra@deanza.edu.
