Chicano and Latino Studies Honored With Excellence Award - California State University, Long Beach

“The Chicano and Latino Studies Department at CSULB was honored in September at the 10th annual Nuestra Imagen Awards Benefit as the 2006 recipient of Excellence in Higher Education Service Award. Sponsored by the Long Beach Centro Community Hispanic Association (CHA), the award recognizes the department’s importance for first-generation college students and for those who come from working-class families. Proceeds from the awards event benefit low-income Hispanic youth, families and neighborhoods in Long Beach.

“We’re very pleased to receive this award,” said department chair Victor Rodriguez. “This award represents recognition of work done by our faculty and students for the last 36 years, and it recognizes this department’s commitment to working with the Long Beach community. It is doubly gratifying to be recognized for doing what is already the department’s mission. This is very exciting.””
