COLEGIO CESAR CHAVEZ 50TH ANNIVERSARY: CELEBRATING A COLLEGE WITHOUT WALLS<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On August 26, 2023, PODER: Oregon’s Latino Leadership Network<\/a>, hosted an incredible commemorative and celebratory event<\/a> to honor the history and legacy of the Colegio C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez<\/a> at the Father Bernard Youth & Retreat Center in Mt. Angel, Oregon, the original site of the Colegio. Hundreds of community members, including many who were a part of Colegio’s history, participated in the event! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the event and Colegio’s history were featured in an article by OPB: “Nation\u2019s first four-year, independent Chicano university celebrates 50 years since founding in Oregon”<\/a> by Meerah Powell and Emily Hamilton, as well as an article in The Oregonian<\/em> “50 years later, a pioneering Chicano college in Oregon continues to inspire the fight for educational equity”<\/a> by Sami Edge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The OSU Special Collections and Archives Research Center’s Oregon Multicultural Archives (OMA)<\/a> was honored to serve as a project partner and event planning committee member. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The OMA curated an exhibit to showcase the Colegio’s history and legacy, and also organized an archives tabling activity featuring the resources from the OMA’s Latino\/a collections<\/a> as well as from the Oregon Historical Society <\/a>and the University of Oregon’s Special Collections and University Archives<\/a>. And, the U of O’s Latino Roots<\/a> exhibit was also displayed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Colegio exhibit will be available for viewing in the 5th floor of the OSU Valley Library mid-September 2023 – Summer 2024<\/a> and the panels are available as PDFs online<\/a>; for more information about a potential loan of the panels contact natalia.fernandez[at]oregonstate.edu<\/p>\n\n\n\n
