Bi-Weekly Study Halls

,

By the time Friday comes along, after a long week of class—it is impossible to find the will to stick around and finish out strong. This is why La Raza has started organizing study halls every other Friday. With the bi-weekly study halls, La Raza seeks to provide a space for our members to come in community and review the material of the week for a couple more hours. Not only do study halls provide for a time for our members to spend productive time with each other, but the organization also provides dinner for those who come. The study halls are a great way to tie the loose knots of the week, while feeling good about starting the weekend off right. 

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.
