The ECCSF (East Coast Chicano/a Student Forum) Spring Conference
is right around the corner! Prefrosh Weekend Events!!!
Come meet prefrosh at the many events that we will be holding on the two Princeton
Preview Weekends!! "Detrás del sombrero" Ballet Folklórico de Princeton
Ballet Folklórico de Princeton's 9th annual show, "Detrás del Sombrero"
(behind the hat) seeks to pay tribute to the real Mexico, which is often
masked behind layers of prejudice and misconception. We will showcase the
vibrant culture that defines Mexico and that Ballet Folklórico here at Princeton
has worked hard to maintain and share for 20 years. Ballet Folklórico will be
showcasing the regions of Veracruz, Huasteca Veracruzana, Jalisco,
Baja California Norte, Baja California Sur, Guerrero and Colima. "Detrás del Sombrero"
takes the audience on a journey to discover the true colors of Mexico through the
dances of the diverse regions that constitute this proud nation. Latino Graduation
Latino Graduation is an event that celebrates the achievement of graduating seniors and graduate students involved in the Princeton Latino community in the company of their families. The celebration starts with a buffet-style dinner and is followed by speakers and entertainment. The celebration concludes as stoles are presented to each graduating student. This year's ceremony will take place after Baccalaureate on evening of May 29th.

President: Ivana Castellanos LGSA Mentoring Program
The Latino Graduate Students Association (LGSA) is interested in partnering graduate
students from all disciplines with undergraduates who want guidance through job
searches, graduate school applications, career choices, or life in general.
If you are interested in this opportunity, e-mail
dortega@princeton.edu with your major, career interest, and any particular
topics that you want to cover with your LGSA mentor. Winter 2010 ECCSF Conference
Over the weekend of February 5-7th, 13 representatives from Princeton's
Chicano Caucus attended this year's Winter ECCSF (East Coast Chicano/a Students
Forum) Conference. Hosted by Harvard University's RAZA, the conference's topic
was "Cuentos y Cultura: Increasing Access to Culturally Relevant Literature
and Arts." We had the opportunity to meet many people from universities all
over the east coast and were able to take a picture with Rosa Rios,
Treasurer of the United States. Thank you, Harvard's RAZA, for a wonderful time!

The mission of Princeton University's Chicano Caucus is to
provide social and academic support to undergraduate students
of Latino heritage. Originally organized around students of
Mexican-American descent, the Caucus has broadened its
membership as the Latino student population became more diverse
and welcomes members from all national orgins and racial groups
to include the full range of voices and experiences represented
on campus.
