2016 Chicana/o and Latina/o Graduation Celebration

The goal of the Chicana/o Latina/o Graduation Celebration is to sponsor a culturally meaningful celebration that reflects Chicana/o and Latina/o culture and values. This is highlighted in presentations by a keynote speaker, student speakers and cultural entertainers. The graduation celebration seeks to:

    Allow students to participate in a more personal and meaningful celebration with students who share similar ethnic backgrounds.
    Communicate the importance of an education for Chicano/Latino youth, UC Davis students, families and the community.
    Recognize parents, family, and others for their support and love in helping us to attain our college degrees.
    Organize a celebration for all UC Davis Chicano/Latino faculty, staff, students, and family in recognition that community represents the buildings blocks that help mold us into who we are as individuals.
    Expose fellow members of the campus community who are not of Chicano/Latino heritage to our event in the hopes that this will foster an appreciation for our distinct struggles, culture, and achievements.
    Serve as a recruitment mechanism as well as provide role models for the Chicano/Latino youth.
