EOP Events

Welcome to the Fall 2009 semester!

We have a few events happening in September:

• Wednesday, September 2, 2009: 
  • EOP Welcome Back Day, all day at the EOP Center (Bell Tower 1808): Join us as we welcome back all of our wonderful EOP students and celebrate EOP. Snacks will be provided throughout the day so be sure to stop by. Please wear your EOP t-shirt to show your EOP pride!
  • Latina Now & Then Program, 6:00 p.m. in Malibu 100: EOP is working with the Multicultural and Women’s & Gender Student Center (MWGSC) on this program. Latina Now & Then draws on the campus and local community to provide a forum for Latinas to engage in discussion about issues related to cultural experiences. This event is designed to increase cultural awareness and competency about Latina experiences that span generations.  Music, food and reflective learning will be handed out freely. Co-sponsored by the Center for Multicultural Engagement, the Center for Community Engagement, University Outreach & Student Success Programs and Multicultural Programs.
    • EOP is looking for volunteers for this event! Please contact Leah Alvarado at (805) 437-8515 or leah.alvarado@csuci.edu for more information.
