General Assembly Meetings:

WEDNESDAYS AT 6PM IN OLSON 163

Welcome to the Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan Web site. The Chicano Student Movement of Aztlan.

Prior to 1969, there were various Chicano Student organizations such as the Mexican American Student Conference (UMAS), and the Mexican American Youth Organization (MAYO) throughout Aztlan. In March 1969, students, teachers, and community activists met at the University of California Santa Barbara and drafted El Plan de Santa Barbara, a Chicano plan for Higher Education. At this meeting, it was agreed that all participating student organizations would take the name of M.E.Ch.A.

M.E.Ch.A. can assist you in the conciousness raising of our people and the retention of our culture to help our on-campus community empowerment through awareness. On an individual level, M.E.Ch.A. fosters leadership skills, self and group respect, and more friendships with Raza students. Most important, M.E.Ch.A. can help us keep our education in focus and help answer that fateful question, "Why are we here?"
