The Lower Sproul Redevelopment Project celebrated a big milestone yesterday with a "Topping Out Ceremony." Topping out is a building ritual that is done when the last beam is put in place for a building. Before the beam was lifted atop what will be "new" Eshelman, it was available for the community to sign. Elisa Diana Huerta and Lisa D. Walker signed the beam in recognition that this building will house the new, permanent Multicultural Community Center along with other vital student spaces. So, so many students and staff have held the vision and done the groundwork for a permanent MCC. We so excited that we can finally say that we now about a year out from realizing this vision!

Fri, October 17, 3:00pm – 4:30pm
Join a speaking/musical tour of Feminist Human Rights Defender, Karla Luna, at the MCC. The goal of this tour is to raise awareness on the current human rights crisis in Honduras. The main points we will be highlighting include the increased militarization since the 2009 coup d’etat, attacks against journalists and independent media outlets, indigenous struggle for territorial autonomy, the feminist resistance within social movements, and the roots of mass migration. The intention is to take a look at the situation from different perspectives in order to create dialogue and connect our collective struggles. We want to make this a collaborative effort with different people and organizations.

This is an event done annually by the RAZA Center where Chican@/Latin@ undergraduates are given resources through workshops, discussions, and raffles. Chican@/Latin@ undergraduates are also given the chance to ask questions to a Graduate Student Panel in order to help them clearly understand what steps are needed to pursue higher education. In this event we will have workshops being held by graduate students, undergraduates, and KAPLAN in order to open the discussion of Graduate school in an array of fields.
This event is open to all to demystify higher education and continue to support students of color on our journeys to graduate and/or professional school.
