Latinas in Pursuit: First-Gen Latina College Roadmap + Vendor Pop-Up

Latinas in Pursuit invites you to a free community event supporting students on their path to college.

As part of the 2026 ELLA Cohort with the Latina Coalition of Silicon Valley, this event is designed especially for first-generation students, but open to all Latinas seeking guidance, connection, and community.

In collaboration with Karina Solano from the Silicon Valley Education Foundation, we’re bringing together students, professionals, and community to share real experiences and resources. Special guest Dr. Maria Ceja from CSU Monterey Bay will be joining us to share guidance on navigating college and accessing CSU resources.

🎓Workshop & Panel (12:00–3:00 PM)

Learn about the college process, how to find and apply for scholarships, and what to look for when choosing a school. Hear from Latinas who have started or completed their college journeys and gain real insight and advice.

Community Pop-Up (3:00–5:00 PM)

Stay after to support Latina-owned businesses and connect with community.
