Academic programs have a new streamlined look at California State University, Stanislaus this year and students have additional offerings to choose from as part of the restructuring. The changes reflect the continuing drive for excellence under the leadership of second-year President Hamid Shirvani.
The Stanislaus State Chicano Alumni Chapter, Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan (MEChA) and Los Hijos del Teatro del Campo are sponsoring the program.
Garza, a former university administrator and college professor, has published two books about Murieta: “Joaquin: Demystifying the Murieta Legend” and “Joaquin Murrieta: A Quest for Justice”.
Active in the Chicano movement since the 1960s and a community organizer, Garza served as a superintendent of schools in Parlier in addition to teaching and has worked in the public and private sectors.
Preparations and the student application process for the University's groundbreaking doctorate program that will start in the fall are continuing under the direction of Dr. Steven K. Lee, Founding Director. The program is designed for educators interested in earning a doctorate to advance their careers in education.
The program sponsored by the College of Humanities and Social Science's Council for Sustainable Futures is scheduled for 6 p.m. in the University's South Dining Hall. Admission is free and open to the public.
