Angel, Oregon, and in operation from 1973 to 1983, Colegio C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez was the first independent, four-year accredited Chicano\/a college in the United States. Rooted in the Chicano\/a notion of \u201cfamilia,\u201d the college offered a unique and innovative educational philosophy that incorporated a holistic, integrated, community-based approach for students whose needs were not being met by traditional educational institutions. This bilingual exhibition highlights Colegio C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez\u2019s significance and legacy by exploring the national and local context for its establishment, its educational philosophy and structure, as well as and the challenges it faced and how it overcame them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Credits and Online Access:<\/strong> <em>Colegio C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez: The Legacy Lives On \/ El legado sigue vivo&nbsp;<\/em>was curated by Natalia Fern\u00e1ndez, Associate Professor and Curator of the Oregon Multicultural Archives and OSU Queer Archives within the Oregon State University Special Collections and Archives Research Center.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/oregondigital.org\/concern\/documents\/gt54kn355\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Digital copies of the exhibition panels<\/a>&nbsp;are available via Oregon State University\u2019s digital asset management system Oregon Digital.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>More Information: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ohs.org\/museum\/exhibits\/colegio-cesar-chavez.cfm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Oregon Historical Society <em>Colegio C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez: The Legacy Lives On \/ El legado sigue vivo<\/em> exhibit website<\/a> (note: this link will not be active once the exhibit closes)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong> Radio Interview via The Jefferson Exchange <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On February 3, 2025, Jefferson Public Radio <a href=\"https:\/\/nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ft.e2ma.net%2Fclick%2Fbrekon%2Fvqnu8s%2Fzdsw4yc&amp;data=05%7C02%7Cnatalia.fernandez%40oregonstate.edu%7C33470ebbede7467bf5d508dd4c8bf27a%7Cce6d05e13c5e4d6287a84c4a2713c113%7C0%7C0%7C638750886150724811%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C80000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=ffZJWcJH3dE3Lr788HzR4DGIqjIE7DTEPE4V97s7Bgs%3D&amp;reserved=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">interviewed Natalia Fern\u00e1ndez<\/a> for a 15 minute segment about the exhibit! In the interview, Fern\u00e1ndez discusses her work as an archivist as well as the exhibition. She shared that the college\u2018s primary goal was to provide equal education opportunities for Chicano\/a and minority students through a bilingual, bicultural curriculum and experiential learning. With the exhibition, Fern\u00e1ndez hopes to honor and share this significant history, to highlight the \u201cincredible foundation of social justice advocacy for us to learn from,\u201c and that people take away the \u201cinspiring legacy for us to continue.\u201d &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Exhibit Photos <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img
