Past Events
If you were unable to make one of our P.I.E. series events, materials such as presentation slides and lecture recordings can be found below.
Event Details | This presentation focused on general campus protocols, government priorities, workplace raids, how to address workplace agents, and most important, a better understanding our undocumented students, families, and communities. Other topics included mental health/wellness, Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD), Compassion Fatigue, and Burnout.
Contact District Director of Diversity, Culture & Inclusion Flavio Medina-Martin for a recording of the lecture.
Event Details | Black History Month wouldn’t have been possible without Negro History Week’s creation in the United States in 1926. It all began with an idea by Dr. Carter G. Woodson, that emerged from frustration and the belief that Black people should know their past in order to participate intelligently in society. This session provided an overview of how Black History Month was created, who created it, and shed light on the important outcome.
Event Details | Professor Esther Villegas-Sandoval from College of the Sequoias will outline seven (7) major shared themes in this session, including: the coming out and "the undocumented closet"; the various stages of fear; inconsistent communication with parents; and much, much more. A huge "Thank you" to Professor Villegas-Sandoval for providing such valuable information on this very relevant and important topic.
The second part of this series will be on April 7, 2025.
