HIGHLIGHTS OF THE WEEK...
MURAL UNVEILING THIS WEDNESDAY |
Thurgood Marshall College: Peterson Hall. Wed Oct 14. 12:00pm
Students, faculty and staff from diverse
backgrounds are looking forward to what will be a major event in the
history of UCSD. The mural will have a positive impact on issues
relating to campus climate, relations with off-campus communities of
color, and even yield activities.
It is important to note that the mural project was
supported by several campus groups including MEChA, SPACES, and SAAC.
Significant student input went into the design of the image. The final
execution was completed by internationally known San Diego-based
Chicano artist, Mario Torero. This marks the first time that public
art rooted in the cultural and historical experience of a real
community will be fore grounded on the UCSD campus. Although this is a
temporary installation, we can through our dedication make it permanent. Please
fill out this survey and express your opinion regarding public art on campus! |

Vietnamese Americans overcame obstacles to rebuild after Hurricane
Katrina, only to have their homes threatened by a new
government-imposed toxic landfill. A VILLAGE CALLED VERSAILLES is the empowering story of how the Versailles people, who have already
suffered so much in their lifetime, turn a devastating disaster into a catalyst for change and a chance for a better future.
