Follow on Google News | 1st Aztlan Graduation by Chicano Studies Dept. to Feature Aztlan Underground "Unearthed" PerformanceBy: Spiral NRG, Aztlan Underground, LA Mission College For this most special occasion, the band will be honoring the graduates while entertaining faculty and guests with two acoustic sets done with the ancient instruments of Mexico, a sound they like to call Aztlan Underground "Unearthed". The Graduation and performances will take place at Los Angeles Mission College, Campus Center Main, from 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm. The 1st Annual Aztlan Graduation will be honoring all graduating Chicano Studies Associate of the Arts degree recipients with their graduation sashes to be worn at the campus-wide commencement ceremony the next evening. In a wondrous effort to make the event happen, EVERYTHING is being donated. From university professors paying for the certificates and programs, to Tia Chuchas (http://www.tiachucha.com) paying for the sashes, to even the president of the college donating to the cause. Aztlan Underground (http://aztlanunderground.net) was also more than happy to charitably donate their services for the evening. With this annual ceremony, the Chicano Studies Department hopes to raise funds in order to establish two new scholarships for LAMC students. Donations are accepted and encouraged to help cover the costs of the event and for the Guadalupe Ramirez Memorial Chicano Studies Scholarship Fund, and the Sal Castro Memorial Student Activist/Organizer Scholarship Fund.
