Sacramento State teamed with Univision 19, the California State University system and the Mexican Consulate of Sacramento to help students and their families from the Spanish-speaking community realize their college dreams by sponsoring the third annual Feria de Educación on Saturday, Sept. 26, in Serna Plaza and the University Union.

As a newly designated Hispanic-Serving Institution, Sacramento State is proud to host Feria de Educación. As President Robert S. Nelsen says, “It is never too early to begin thinking about higher education, and preparation is the key.”
