Financial Aid Update

Denise S. Whisenhunt

Monday, September 17, 2018 6:24 PM
Colleagues,

As you all likely know, City, Mesa and Miramar Colleges are transitioning to a new administrative system.  This is a very complex process and we are committed to minimizing the impact on students. To avoid any delays in getting financial aid checks to students by September 21st, all students will pick up their checks at their Financial Aid campus, rather than have them mailed. You can help by encouraging students to check their email for detailed information  if they have not received it already, about our manual check distribution process that that will begin tomorrow,  on September 18th.  Students may pick up checks in the Office of Student Affairs this week.

Special thanks to District Student Services, Financial Aid, Student Accounting, Student Affairs, Business Services and Student Services departments for working so collaboratively in support of our students.

Best,


Sincerely,
Denise Whisenhunt
Vice President of Student Services

Radicals in the Barrio-- Sep 19, 2018

Facebook Event


Details
As part of ARE’s ongoing efforts to popularize Ethnic Studies and put critical books in the hands of the people, we are honored to host educator and author Justin Akers Chacon, a local San Diego City College professor of U.S. History and Chicano Studies, who will be joining us for a book-release and presentation about his latest book, Radicals in the Barrio: Magonistas, Socialists, Wobblies and Communists in the Mexican-American Working Class. The event is FREE and open to the public!

In the author’s own words, Radicals in the Barrio, “is an attempt to bring into focus the rich and deeply interwoven history to Mexican working-class people in the hardscrabble labor and civil rights struggles of the early 20th century. The invisibility of Mexicans in the canon of early labor and civil rights history continues to the present, where we see the suppression of the voices, narratives, and experiences of Mexican and Mexican-descendent people in the discourse of immigration politics. The book is an attempt to bring some of this history into the foreground.”

Please join us to celebrate this groundbreaking text and continue the work to center Raza voices, and resist the silencing of our histories!

Copies of the book will be available for sale at the event!

43 people holding posters, banners and commemorative shirt in support of the 43 of Ayotzi.

• Because 4 years have passed without truth or justice
• Because the government continues to deny their participation despite the evidence that state, federal police and the army participated in the disappearance of the 43 and the murder of 6 in the terrible night of Iguala, on September 26, 2014.
• Because in Mexico we are missing 43 and more than 34 thousand more disappeared.
• Because the mothers and fathers of the 43 disappeared and murdered students ask us: Do not forget us!
• Because even though we are far from Mexico, the indignation and anger of so much injustice reaches us on this side of the border.

Come with us on Wednesday, September 26, to the actions we will be having to remind the government and the people that Ayotzinapa lives and that no matter how much they want to silence us, we continue with the demand for justice.

We know that it is a week day with limited times for work or school, but all we need is a little of your time.

BECAUSE THEY TOOK THEM ALIVE, WE WANT THEM BACK ALIVE!

Early morning and evening events sponsored by: Raices sin Fronteras, Danza Mexika Tlayolohtli de San Diego and San Diego 43.

Room 103 (main floor)  San Diego, CA 92113.


CBBer Deborah Dorn and I have been exploring how to help people who are now living in Tijuana, some of them due to deportation and some who are escaping turmoil in their home region.

In recent visits to Tijuana, we have met some wonderful people who are open heartedly  helping newly arrived people  find their way in  time of crisis.  In the best scenarios,   these amazing human rights defenders are guiding the new arrivals from crisis to purpose: helping  them  re- construct their lives in what has now become their home, Tijuana.

We would like to invite you to meet some of today's heroes working tirelessly in service to displaced people: 

Saturday, September 8th   2:00 – 4:00
César E. Chávez Campus, 1901 Main St.  (Barrio Logan)
Room 103 (main floor)  San Diego, CA 92113.

Free parking is under the building.

Attorneys from both sides of the border will be there: Elizabeth Camareno, Casa Cornelia,USA. and Graciela Zamudia, Alma Migrante, Tijuana

We will also hear from Carlos and MariJose about the innovative programming going on at Casa del Migrante, the oldest shelter for migrants in Mexico.  Please see the video below of one of the places Deborah and I visited recently.

Please mark your calendar now and feel free to bring friends that want to get informed and/or involved. Explore whether you will want to pitch in and help/volunteer.

Please RSVP to ddorn2000@yahoo.com and to me!

Respectfully,
Deborah & Maria Senour

Rally for the Dream-- Sep 5

Who: San Diego Border Dreamers (SDBD)
What: SDBD hosting a press conference to speak on the current state of affairs
When: Wednesday September 5th, 6pm-7pm
Where: Waterfront Park, Downtown San Diego 1600 Pacific Hwy, San Diego, CA 92101


On September 5, 2017 Trump rescinded the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program that allowed over 800 thousand undocumented youth to pursue their dreams and be safe from deportation. Because of a court injunction we were able to stop the termination of DACA, but the program is continuously under attack. This has placed our sisters and brothers in a state of limbo. The potential rescinding of DACA puts almost a million people who have lived in this country most of their lives at risk of deportation. For those of us in the border region, the danger of deportation is much higher and devastating. We have seen the consequences of militarizing of the border through policy like ‘Zero Tolerance’ which literally lead to the kidnapping of children away from their parents and putting them for ransom. The systematic separation of families is nothing new, but we as a collective community will no longer stand by idly and allow it to happen. We will no longer allow this bigoted and racist white house to use DREAMERS and kidnapped children as political bargaining chips.
