Helen and Morgan Chu, whose student activism in the late 1960s helped launch UCLA’s ethnic studies centers, have pledged $10 million to the UCLA Institute of American Cultures, the largest gift ever made to the institute.
The sold-out event, which took place Jan. 20 and 21 at UCLA’s Luskin Conference Center, brought together nearly 400 prominent Latina scholars, attorneys, politicians, policy leaders and students from across the country to explore today’s legal and advocacy challenges and opportunities through a Latina lens.
As leaders in the UCLA Latinx Infrastructure Initiative, the CSRC is co-sponsoring two faculty searches launching Winter Quarter 2024. These positions will support UCLA's efforts to achieve federal designation as a Hispanic-Serving Institution.
Founded in 2016 by young residents of Santa Ana, California, who were personally invested in tackling broken immigration laws, punitive school discipline policies, and unfair policing, the grassroots organizing group Resilience Orange County (ROC) developed comprehensive programming to help young people thrive and hold institutions accountable to their largely immigrant community.
