Yadira Rosales serves as the Associate Vice President for Equity and Inclusion at Skagit Valley College. As the daughter of immigrant, farmworker parents, and a first-generation college student, she sees her role to expand educational opportunities to all students who are often marginalized and underrepresented in education. The power of education is life-changing, it has the potential to change generations and provide opportunities for advancement that too often are denied to many. Creating a more just environment takes all of us, it takes us to stand for injustices and to work towards an equitable community.
Yadira lives in Mount Vernon with her husband and her three children.
