Meet the new MCPA President-Elect: Domingo Coto!
|
I am a first-generation college student and I received my Bachelor's degree in Psychology from the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. During my time there, I realized being an attorney wasn't going to work out for me, but I realized that I loved my orientation experience and learned I could do it full-time, so I went to the University of St. Thomas for my Master's degree in Leadership in Student Affairs. I had assistantships at both Hamline University and the University of St. Thomas that primarily focused on orientation and transition experience. After graduate school, my first full time position was as a Residence Hall Director at Augsburg College, which I held for 16 months. In November 2015, I transitioned to the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities to my

current role of Residence Director. I have been involved and engaged with MCPA since attending the 2013 Careers in Student Affairs: Graduate Student event and have greatly enjoyed attending other events, such as the Fall Conference and Inclusion Institution, as well as simply being part of this organization and connecting with other professionals who are passionate about higher education and the student experience. Prior to my role as President-Elect, I served on the board of directors as a New Professionals Commission Co-Chair, which I greatly enjoyed.
I look forward to connecting with every member of MCPA as much as I humanly can, as well as bringing in new members and learning about how MCPA can better engage people across the state. I hope to engage our board of directors and membership in critical dialogue regarding identity and intersectionality. I also hope to continue exploring opportunities for potential collaborations with other organizations, as these could enhance the incredible work already done by MCPA. Lastly, I want to make myself available to each of you should you have ideas or input for the growth and betterment of MCPA and our membership. I value and am excited about serving each of you!
