What to Expect: This is an opportunity to celebrate our Latine/Hispanic/Chicanx/Afro-Latine/Indigenous gente!

Tabling: Look for a table to get information about Puente, the Dreamer's Success Center, the Chicanx Latine Faculty Taskforce and how to contribute to La Raza's student scholarships.  If you can't make it and want to support La Raza Employee's Association, please consider completing the payroll deduction form found here.

How to Participate 

• Join the Parade:  Help us out by carrying a flag or we also encourage folks to wear traditional clothes if you have them. You are also welcome to wear jerseys, t-shirts, flags, or anything else you can wear to join our parade as a participant. Here's a Google form to tell us how you are participating.  
• Spectate and Support: Cheer us on! When a country is called, please make some noise as we want to see who is PRESENTE representing the countries they love. You can love a country for all the reasons: heritage is not the only reason to celebrate, perhaps the country is where you spent your honeymoon or the birthplace of your favorite athlete or writer, and so on.  
• Spread the Word: Help us make this event a success by sharing this invitation with students and colleagues.

Let's come together to celebrate diversity and make this Pachanga a vibrant campus experience!
