CSUSM hosts the annual C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez Day of Service (CCDoS), along with MiraCosta College’s (MCC) Service Learning and Volunteering Center<\/a>. This year, thanks to a North County Higher Education Alliance<\/a> (NCHEA) Collaboration Grant, the CSUSM and MCC communities are thrilled to include Palomar College’s Service Learning Program<\/a> to also join us in service on Friday April 11th.

Keynote Speakers- Drs. Ang\u00e9lica M. Ya\u00f1ez and Jason M. Perez (4\/11\/25, 11:30 am, Room TBD) <\/em>

We serve to honor the legacy of C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez, and the contributions of farm workers to our society. C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez<\/a>, Dolores Huerta, and Larry Itliong fought for workers\u2019 rights among countless farmworkers and allies, and their impacts extend beyond the Latinx community.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
