Tarde de Familia<\/em> was originated in 2011 by Dr. Rodolfo Jacobo, Jr., assistant professor of Multicultural Studies. Jacobo said, \u201cWe are proud to be celebrating our fifth year with this event which provides hope, inspiration and concrete information to our students.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Dr. Jack Kahn, dean of Social and Behavioral Sciences (SBS), thanks to Jacobo and other members of Grupo Magnifico<\/em>, an all-volunteer group of staff, faculty and students, \u201cthis event gets bigger and better each semester.\u201d The group, formed to provide support to the Hispanic community, has gotten representatives from several College departments and programs to offer outreach at the event. Some areas to be represented include English as a Second Language (ESL); SBS; Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM); the Teaching and Learning Center (TLC); Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs (GEAR UP); Star Tutoring; and many others.<\/p>\n

With figures showing Palomar\u2019s Hispanic student population at 39% and growing, the College is recognized as a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) and receives funding from the federal government designated \u201cto assist with strengthening institutional programs, facilities, and services to expand the educational opportunities for Hispanic Americans and other underrepresented populations.\u201d (U.S. Dept. of Education website). Kahn said that Tarde de Familia<\/em> is one of many events and programs HSI funding helps make possible.<\/p>\n
