The ESPARiTU (Encuentros Student Participatory Action Research y Testimonios) research team has created an exhibit that highlights the Chicanx/Latinx experiences at the University of California, Riverside. 

This exhibit will showcase the academic journeys of scholars from UCR, featuring their testimonies and materials that symbolize their experiences. 

The concept of "corazón" (heart) is central to many of these shared stories, illustrating how participants have led and fostered connections on campus. The exhibit will launch with a reception that is open to the public, honoring the ESPARiTU co-researchers, who are all Chicanx/Latinx undergraduate scholars at UCR, alongside the project's principal investigator, Dr. Arlene Cano Matute and project partners. 

The reception is co-sponsored by Chicano Student Programs, Undergraduate Education, and funded by the UC Office of the President Addressing Bias and Bigotry Grant.
