Colleagues,

Tomorrow, Thursday, March 31, 2021, our campus will be closed in observance of and celebration of Cesar Chavez Day. We are encouraging you to take a moment and walk by the Cesar Chavez Monument (titled the Arch of Dignity, Equality and Justice by Judy Baca) located on the Northeast side of campus. In Baca’s words, “A key element to the monument is to teach the next generation how to choose to live a life in the center of your values and beliefs as Cesar Chavez did.” You can also reach out to SJSU’s own César E. Chávez Community Action Center to explore opportunities for civic engagement and activism in our community. So please enjoy the day off to relax, recharge, and reflect.

Regards,
The SJSU IT Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee
