Celebration Information

Michigan State University (MSU) celebrated its 15th Commemorative Celebration on Saturday, March 29, 2025, honoring the legacies of local and national community leaders and organizers with a special on-campus dinner for MSU students, faculty, staff and local community leaders. The event recognized the brave leaders that created change and impact for farmworkers and Latinx communities, their history, challenges and progress in America. The theme for 2025 is De Aqui Y de Alla: Celebrating 15 Years of Empowerment, Community and Culture.

Each year, the MSU, Greater Lansing and East Lansing communities gather on campus to honor the legacy of two of the most prominent U.S. labor leaders and civil rights activists, César E. Chávez and Dolores Huerta. This event is grown from the strength of the Latino/e and farmworker communities and the allies who stand in solidarity to raise awareness of the contributions, hardships, issues, and obstacles both ongoing and newly surfacing.
