The MSU Museum in collaboration with WKAR and the Chicano/Latino Studies Program present: “Building a Legacy: Inside the Journey to Establish the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Latino with Founding Director Jorge Zamanillo.” Created by an act of Congress on December 20, 2020, the National Museum of the American Latino was established to celebrate the rich tapestry of Latino culture, history, and contributions in the United States. Serving as a beacon of representation and education, the museum is dedicated to highlighting the enduring influences of Latino communities on the nation's social, cultural, and political landscapes. Founded as a crucial addition to the Smithsonian Institution, it seeks to bridge gaps in understanding and amplify the stories of Latino Americans across generations. The event will take place on Thursday, October 5, in room 145 of the Communications Arts and Sciences Building (a WKAR studio room). The program will begin with a reception at 6:00 pm, followed by a moderated discussion at 7:00 pm.
No classes for students, university remains open on Monday, October 23rd and Tuesday, October 24th.
The MSU Youth Equity Project is excited to host Dr. Nancy Rodriguez (UC-Irvine) for a keynote address Making Social Justice Non-Negotiable in Crime Policy and Practice. Public attendance is welcome to the keynote address.
Have you been asked what do you want me to do? Some or many of us hesitate because we are unsure of what we want to do. Some of us may not have family members working in fields that interest us, we may not know options that are available. We may not know the jobs that we want to do, but most of us want to find work that inspires us and want to somehow make an impact. This workshop will help you figure out your values, what may inspire you, how you may want to make an impact, and even the type of work you may not want to pursue.
The University is closed for all non-essential operations on Thursday, November 23rd and Friday, November 24th in observance of the Thanksgiving holiday.
Building off the first two workshops in this series, this workshop will look at how cultivating and building relationships can help us get more motivated (however we define it) and set us up for success!
