This spring, M.E.Ch.A (Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de

the life and accomplishments of César E. Chávez, one of the
leading activists in the civil rights movements of the 60's
founder of the United Farm Workers of America. In the past,
the celebration of Cesar Chavez had been held within a day,

and the movement through the extent of a week. Please click here, or anywhere on the calendar, to learn more about our scheduled events! Click here to see pictures from the 2007 César E. Chávez Commemoration Event Annual Higher Education ConferenceSpring Quarter 2007: Date TBA

have organized a conference to promote the importance of education within the Latino community.
The conference will feature motivational speakers and a series of workshops led by education professionals.
The workshops will address such issues as: Financial aid, applying to college, student life, and options for students
with different immigration status. Welcome!Hi, and welcome to the homepage of the University of Chicago's student organization, MEChA.
