The event featured a panel of speakers which included Alicia Avila, a multilingual journalist and documentary producer based in Portland, Oregon, who produced the film; Sonny Montes and Jos\u00e9 Romero, the co-founders of the Colegio C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez; and Anthony Veliz, the founder of PODER: Oregon\u2019s Latino Leadership Network. There were about 25 attendees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the event was not recorded, it was similar to the January 2025 film screening and panel discussion that took place at the Oregon Historical Society; this event was recorded: “The Living Legacy of Colegio C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez\u201d Documentary Screening and Panel Discussion<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This event was organized and hosted by PSU’s Global Diversity and Inclusion office which “offers robust diversity programming that serves and empowers student populations whose success, retention, and academic success are most challenged by historical factors and contemporary inequity” (GDI website). PSU was designated as an \u201cemerging Hispanic-Serving Institution\u201d (HSI), a distinction provided to institutions in which Hispanic students make up between 15 and 24 percent of full-time undergraduates and was awarded the 2024 Higher Education Excellence in Diversity (HEED) Award from Insight Into Diversity magazine, the oldest and largest diversity-focused publication in higher education. In the summer of 2025, is was announced that GDI was being dismantled as part of a broader university restructuring process and this was the office’s final HSI event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of the two hour event with over 100 visitors, there was about 45 minutes of mingle time before the formal program began. We had the opportunity to talk with about 15 event attendees to share information about the Oregon Multicultural Archives, specifically, our Latino\/Latina community archival materials<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The space was decorated beautifully and the event concluded with a couple lively rounds of Loter\u00eda.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
