Mexican Chicana alumna and mural artist Brenda Vargas ’22 is unveiling Centro de Educación Aztlán, a meaningful mural to help strengthen the academic identity of Ƶapp’s Hispanic, Chicana/o/x and Latina/o/x population. The mural, composed of three panels, will be presented on Thursday, Feb. 16 at 4:30 pm., at the west alcove on the main floor of Michener Library. The intention of this mural is to create a community space not only for those who identify themselves as Chicana/o/x, Latina/o/x and Hispanic but for everyone who is looking for a space to build an academic identity. The project is possible thanks to an alliance between the artist, the Chicana/o Latinx studies department, Michener Library and Ƶapp’s Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion as part of the university’s efforts to become a Hispanic Serving Institution.
