Latinx Family Dinner for Prospective Students

,

On December 3rd, Berkeley Law's Office of Admission and La Raza Association hosted its first-ever Latinx Family Dinner in Los Angeles for prospective Latinx student applicants to Berkeley Law. Joined by Latinx alumni, representatives from the admissions office, and current Raza students, prospective students had the opportunity to engage with Berkeley Law and ask questions about the application process and student life. The event was a huge success! Many applicants were able to attend and build connections with La Raza Association on campus but also with Latinx professionals. We are excited to continue this new tradition and host more Family dinners such as these in the future. We also look forward to expanding into new cities. More to come on this so stay tuned!

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.
