Those who attend the free community event at Palomar College will hear from the leader of the Latino Coalition for a Healthy California, based in Sacramento.<\/p>\n

SAN MARCOS \u2014 When the doors open for this semester\u2019s Tarde de Familia gathering on Friday, Sept. 29, students who may never have considered a career in health care will hear directly from two professionals working in the field.<\/p>\n

The biannual series<\/a>, conducted in Spanish, gives families from around North County the opportunity to learn more about a potential career path while connecting with resources to help students get started in college.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of times, Latino students don\u2019t see their reflection in many professions, so we bring in Latino professionals to talk to our students and their families,\u201d said event organizer Carmelino Cruz, an ESL Matriculation Coordinator at Palomar.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t
Tarde de Familia<\/strong><\/p>\n

6 p.m., Friday, Sept. 29<\/p>\n

Palomar College Student Union<\/p>\n

1140 W. Mission Road, San Marcos<\/p>\n

Complimentary dinner and free parking in lots 1 & 2<\/div><\/div>\n

This time around, the featured speakers are Jeffrey Reynoso, who leads the Latino Coalition for a Healthy California<\/a> in Sacramento, and Kaiser Permanente Labor and Delivery Nurse Iliana Martinez.<\/p>\n

Cruz said the event will paint a picture of health care as a broad field with many potential careers: \u201cWhen we talk about health care, it\u2019s not just a doctor and a nurse\u2014there are different career paths,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

For example, after one year of studying at Palomar, \u201cYou could become a dental assistant,\u201d Cruz said. \u201cYou don\u2019t necessarily need to think of becoming a doctor, but if that\u2019s what you want to do, there\u2019s support. There are resources that the student can use to help them succeed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, he added, \u201cThere is a huge need for bilingual health care providers in California.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fabiola Hernandez, who graduated from Palomar earlier this year and is now studying Sociology at California State University, San Marcos (CSUSM), said that her involvement in Tarde de Familia helped solidify her goals.<\/p>\n

\u201cI came to Palomar College and I honestly didn\u2019t know what to major in,\u201d Hernandez recalled. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t until I started getting involved with student clubs and Tarde de Familia that I understood I wanted to pursue education.\u201d<\/p>\n

She said she has seen students who first arrived at Palomar during Tarde de Familia go on to begin their college career through the connections they made at the event.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s not only effective for the students, but also for the family, because students are able to bring their parents, who then hear these professionals talking about their careers and education,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Serving up a free meal with inspirational and informative messages from a variety of professionals, Tarde de Familia has become a major event at Palomar, drawing several hundred people during the spring and fall semesters.<\/p>\n

This semester\u2019s event will be the first time that Tarde de Familia has hosted a presenter from outside of San Diego, with Reynoso traveling all the way from the capital to speak, Cruz said.<\/p>\n

The event is also an opportunity for students and their families to network with college staff who can help them get started at the college, as well as outside support organizations.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause there are all of the resources here, they get to talk to people and ask questions,\u201d he said. \u201cWe get students who say they\u2019re interested in a follow-up service, like meeting with a counselor, and we get students who are interested in beginning the process to attend at Palomar.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hosted by Association of Latinos and Allies for Student Success (ALASS), Tarde de Familia has previously focused on Mental Health, Engineering and Public Safety, among other fields. Cruz said attendance typically runs between 250 and 300 people.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of our community members have never been to Palomar College,\u201d said Cruz. \u201cSome people don\u2019t even know what we do here, so (Tarde de Familia exists) to expose them to the campus, expose them to the professionals and the careers, and expose them to the resources.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe big message we\u2019re trying to send is that Palomar College is the community\u2019s\u2014this is their college,\u201d he added. \u201cAnd we want to show them the options that education can give them.\u201d<\/p>\n
