NACCS Tejas not only endorses and supports the policy agenda, but highlight the policy's recommendation to fund Mexican American Studies Departments, Centers and Programs at Institutions of Higher Education.
NACCS Tejas Foco supports the Education Policy Agenda, and also wants to mark Friday, May 1 as Mexican American Studies Day in Texas. We want to also mark the day in as many cities as possible, beginning with Houston, Texas.
NACCS Tejas Foco members will participate in the Higher Education Day Policy Agenda Lobby Day, Monday, March 16. Click here for more information.
In Austin, Texas, the Tejas Foco will also mark the morning of Friday, May 1, 2015, as "Mexican American Studies Day in Texas." The occasion will be commemorated that afternoon in cities and town throughout the state, starting with Houston, Texas.
