Chicanx/Latinx Recognition Ceremony (CLRC)
The Serna Center at Sacramento State is committed to honoring graduates at the annual Chicanx/Latinx Recognition Ceremony (CLRC).
The recognition ceremony celebrates the accomplishments of Chicanx/Latinx students as they complete their degrees and become Hechxs en Sac State (Made at Sac State). CLRC offers family members a culturally inclusive experience, as it is hosted in Spanish and English and honors Chicanx/Latinx history, tradition, and culture.
We cannot wait to celebrate our graduating students, their families, friends, and loved ones!
