Bridge the Gap – March 29-30
The campus community is invited to participate in a brand new experience, Bridge the Gap, in the Petit Salon on March 29 and 30 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Inspired by the Museum of Tolerance, this full-sensory facilitated experience addresses ableism, sexism, heterosexism, white/white passing privilege, erased history, and activism. Participants will walk through different rooms revealing a plethora of information and visual media related to past and present social inequity.
The experience takes approximately 20 minutes per group of about 20 participants followed by a 15 minute debrief, optional pledge and giveaways.
The entire experience is facilitated by professional staff and orchestrated by para‐professional student staff in the Residence Hall Association. Participants will have the opportunity to reflect on the difference one person can make in ending the cycle of oppression. Information, opportunities for activism, campus and community resources will be provided.
If you are interested in participating in Bridge the Gap, please RSVP for Bridge the Gap.
If you’d like to volunteer to be a facilitator at the event to lead tours and conduct the debrief session, please sign up to be a facilitator.

Farmworker Immersion Project – April 7
In collaboration with the Chicana/o Studies Program, House Farm Workers! and Reiter Affiliated Companies, the Center for Community Engagement presents the Farmworker Immersion Project (FIP) taking place on Friday, April 7 from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
The FIP is a program that places students in the community to learn about farmworker rights and immigration issues. The FIP will guide students through a first-hand experience of typical farm work life in Ventura County. We will visit a local berry farm where students will learn about the agricultural business in our county, then work in the field as the farm manager instructs on how to harvest berries. In the afternoon, we will travel first to a health clinic for farm workers and then visit an affordable housing community to speak with farm worker families. Finally, we will come together for a group reflection and then return to campus for a Teatro Campesino performance by Performing Arts Capstone student, Phillip Sanders.
Participants will meet at the old bus station on San Luis Avenue and be taken by Roadrunner Shuttle to the FIP locations.
Please RSVP if you plan to attend.
