Meet the LHSS Student Success Team
Cinthya Gonzalez, Educational AdvisorMy name is Cinthya Gonzalez; I am one of your LHSS Educational Advisors. As a former RCC student, I know firsthand the struggles our students face. While attending RCC I was a mother of three children participating in as many programs and organizations as I could while working multiple jobs. As a result, I learned so much about myself and learned to support my community with passion and a life of purpose. I am a UCR graduate with a bachelor's in Sociology and Administrative Studies, I have acquired a holistic approach to supporting our students and I believe that our past experiences help shape the resilient humans we are today. I am here to support you and your academic success. Please visit us in Music 104. Schedule an Appointment with Cinthya |

Doug Johnson, LHSS Educational AdvisorI’m Doug Johnson, the Language Humanities and Social Science Engagement Center Educational Advisor. I am happy and excited to join the staff at Riverside City College and my team members in the LHSS Engagement Center to connect with, support, and serve our students. I attended RCC and transferred to UCLA, where I graduated with a bachelor’s in African-American Studies. While attending RCC, I was involved on campus as the President of the African American Student Alliance, the predecessor to UMOJA. I was in student government in the Supreme Court, which held campus and district elections. I was also a member of the Model United Nations at RCC. At UCLA, I was Chair of the Afrikan Student Union ASU. As a former RCC student who navigated my way through campus and the transfer process, I know the journey may not always be smooth. In my new position, I am eager to assist students on their educational path. |
