Org. Report RAZA By Miguel Ceron, Harvard Radcliffe RAZA

Org. Report RAZA By Miguel Ceron, Harvard Radcliffe RAZA

Over the past year, Harvard Radcliffe RAZA has continued its traditions in holding campus-wide events such as our Independence Day Celebration, Dia de los Muertos, Mexican Thanksgiving, Posadas, and Cesar Chavez. These events have become staple celebrations all over campus attracting members from across diverse backgrounds as well as professors and college staff.

Futhermore, our board has also been preparing for our annual celebration of Cinco de Mayo. A tradition since the founding of our organization, this year, the Cinco de Mayo Celebration has been extended to include our celebration of Harvard Radcliffe RAZA's 35 year history. As we plan this large scale event, we have invited RAZA alumni to join us in celebrating the history of one of the oldest cultural organizations on the Harvard Campus.

As we honor the 35 years that our organization has been active on campus, we also look to expand our network, a plan that has been in the works for some years. After hours of archive searching put in by 3 consecutive boards, we have been able to finalize our alumni list and are currently in the process of sending out invitations for our anniversary event. Furthermore, in this same endeavor, we have attached with each invitation a newsletter exhibiting our accomplishments in the past year as well as a few memories from events we have put on.

In the next year, we hope to establish a lasting network that will serve to connect the membership of our club at the college to our founding and devoted alumni for years to come and hope that this project becomes only a first step to the widespread connection of the Harvard RAZA community.
