Hot Job Summer: Diversity in Government Jobs

,

Today La Raza brought back four alumni (‘98, ‘07, ‘17, and ‘18) to come talk to us about their experiences working in government. Cristine, Lisa, Gilbert, and David work at the San Francisco DA, California Attorney General, Conta Costa County PD, and Oakland City Attorney offices respectively. They talked about their career paths, their job search, their experience as Latinx attorneys, and their favorite parts of being La Raza members. Our 1Ls left with a lot information to start off their job search with! And, we are always grateful when alumni come back to share their wisdom!

Native Land Acknowledgement


We take a moment to recognize that Berkeley sits on the territory of xučyun (Huichin) (Hoo-Choon), the ancestral and unceded land of the Chochenyo (Cho-Chen-yo) speaking Ohlone people, the successors of the historic and sovereign Verona Band of Alameda County. This land was and continues to be of great importance to the Muwekma (Muh-wek-muh) Ohlone Tribe and other familial descendants of the Verona Band.

We recognize that every member of the Berkeley community has benefited, and continues to benefit, from the use and occupation of this land since the institution's founding in 1868. Consistent with our values of community and diversity, we have a responsibility to acknowledge and make visible the university's relationship to Native peoples. By offering this Land Acknowledgement, we affirm Indigenous sovereignty and will work to hold the University of California, Berkeley more accountable to the needs of American Indian and Indigenous peoples.
