The nomination of Dr. Méndez-Negrete was received from the Northern California Foco with letters of support from the Midwest, the Pacific Northwest, Southern California, and the Rocky Mountain focos. While she is a native of northern California she is fully embedded as an activist scholar in Texas. Her selection as NACCS scholar celebrate her multi-regional contributions which are truly embodied and celebrated as recognition for her life’s work.” —The National Association for Chicana and Chicano Studies
