Congratulations to Alexxess Chavez who was recently featured in the LACCD Student Spotlight series. Alexxess exemplifies the transformation and growth that students can achieve at . As a proud transwoman who was formerly incarcerated, she enrolled at West with the assistance of the Rising Scholars which helped her navigate college systems and gain personal and academic tools needed to succeed. She went on to connect with the college’s Climate Center where she became Climate Ambassador and grew as a leader, presenter and mentor. Additionally, she served as president of the Associate Student Organization (A*O) organizing events and activities and serving as the students’ voice. Alexxess, an Honors Transfer student, has been accepted to multiple UC campuses with scholarship support and will graduate from West this Spring.
