Our hope on campus is to do better and know better this time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What she loves about UC San Diego: For Trujillo, working at UC San Diego holds greater meaning. A member of the Mesa Grande Band of Mission Indians, she grew up in San Diego County. \u201cThe campus\u2019s location is a significant area for the Kumeyaay people,\u201d she said. \u201cFor me, working in this environment, doing work on campus and having the opportunity to go to school at UC San Diego was a way to spread deeper roots.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Best advice received: As a mother, wife and active tribal member, Trujillo has a busy and full life. Additionally, her office is busy, \u201cwhich is good,\u201d she said. \u201cIf we&#8217;re busy, that means ancestors are going back home.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Trujillo said this training presents complex information in an easy, digestible way. \u201cGoing above and beyond is something&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":444302,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[74,76,75],"class_list":["post-444301","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-diego","tag-san-diego","tag-san-diego-headlines","tag-san-diego-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/444301","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=444301"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/444301\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/444302"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=444301"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=444301"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=444301"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
