Daniel Loera, Ed.D., Director of Multicultural Affairs, Center for Multicultural Services at the University of La Verne. Daniel received his doctor of education in organizational leadership from the University of La Verne in 2012. His published dissertation was titled: Emotional intelligence and student success among White and first- and second-generation Latina/o college students. He received his Master of Arts from Mt. St. Mary’s College Graduate Program in Religious Studies (now known as Mount St. Mary’s University), and his Bachelor’s degree from St. John’s Seminary College with an emphasis in philosophy. Prior to joining the University of La Verne, Daniel worked as the Director of Community Leadership Programs for the National Conference for Community and Justice—NCCJ. NCCJ was a national, not-for-profit human relations organization dedicated to fighting bias, bigotry, and racism in America through conflict resolution, education, and advocacy. In his current position at the University of La Verne, Daniel enjoys working to create learning opportunities for the campus community around issues of diversity, inclusion, and equity. I believe that to have an open and honest dialogue about significant issues impacting us individually and collectively, is the first step toward dismantling bias and ultimately systems of oppression. From 2010 to 2020, Daniel previously served as an elected officer with the Alliance of Hispanic Serving Institution Educators (AHSIE), and is now rejoining as an elected member. More specifically, he chaired the Student Outreach and Leadership Development committee that oversees the Student Leadership Institute, and co-chaired the AHSIE student scholarship program. AHSIE is a national higher education organization focused on disseminating high impact/best practices to Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs).
