You Increase Educational Access
“I had always known that I wanted to help the Latina/o community with my higher education, but I did not know how. I ended up receiving my Juris Doctorate. My educational journey would have been a lot more difficult if I did not have the support of my professors and counselors at SF State.”
Yaratzed Hernandez, J.D. (Latina/Latino Studies Minor, 2017)
You Support Academic Excellence
“The Latina/Latino Studies program expanded my knowledge of not only the struggles but also the achievements of my community throughout history. Learning more about the systems that create health, social and educational disparities motivated me to continue my path to medicine.”
Abraham Vela, M.D. (Latina/Latino Studies B.A., 2008)
You Help Build An Inclusive Future
“The Latina/Latino studies department inspired me to finish my education and support my community as a Library Assistant. I still enjoy being the first warm smile and helping hand that hesitant Spanish speaking patrons see when they visit my branch. After getting my Bachelor's degree I was even more committed to provide culturally competent public service for my hometown of San Francisco..”
Lorena Zavala (Latina/Latino Studies, B.A., 2014)

Making Latina/o/x History at San Francisco State University
The Latina/Latino Studies Department engaged in a Making Latina/o/x History fundraising campaign during the week of October 11-15, 2021.
The generous outpouring of support came from our community of alumni and friends of SF State who are invested in empowering the knowledge, creativity and leadership of Latina/Latino Studies students.
This campaign ended, but you can still donate now to the Latina/Latino Studies department online.
