About

The UC Berkeley Chicano/Latino Alumni Association (CLAA) strives to build a family of Chicano/Latino alumni in Southern California. Our goal is to create a community that works together to support the continuing education and professional growth of Chicano/Latino students and alumni. By sharing our resources, experiences, and expertise, we can strengthen our community and enrich our personal development. Coming together via meetings, social gatherings, fundraising efforts, and cultural events, we celebrate our values and experiences. We encourage you to participate and contribute to an organization that can help expand the presence of educated Chicano/Latinos in the state of California in the 21st century.

4th Annual Scholarship Brunch

In April the UC Berkeley Chicano Latino Alumni Association (CLAA) held its 4th Annual Awards and Scholarship Brunch at Luminarias Restaurant. CLAA honored three Latino Cal Footbal Legends: Coach Joe Kapp '60, Hank Olguin '59 and David Ortega '89. We raised nearly $20,000 that will go toward providing need-based scholarships to incoming and current Cal students.
