Ethnic Studies Department 40th Anniversary: Barbeque Celebration
In 1969, a fledgling ethnic studies curriculum was instituted as a result of a student protest. (Read the full story on page 10 of the summer 2010 issue of the Mills Quarterly). Now one of the longest-running and innovative programs in its field, the Ethnic Studies Department at Mills features tenured faculty, distinguished visiting professors, community-based service learning programs, and an extensive calendar of events honoring diverse cultures. Planned in partnership with the AAMC Alumnae of Color Committee and the Ethnic Studies Department, this afternoon’s celebration pays tribute to the department’s 40th anniversary and all ethnic studies alumnae.
