As her first year at Pomona comes to a close, Special Projects writer Alison Barrera PO ’29 paints a picture of the 5Cs’ Chicanx Latinx Department, speaking with students from across The Claremont Colleges who have found community in this space. “There’s an innate sense of community, passion and appreciation that exists among the Latines in the CLS department that I haven’t found anywhere else,” Barrera writes. “So, please, if you’re a first-year student, or just someone who has never taken a CLS course (or an ethnic studies course for that matter), give one a try. You might find yourself writing a 40-page thesis — or a TSL article — about it.”
