The UC Chicanx Latinx Alumni Association (UC CLAA), in partnership with UCSF CLAA and the UCSF Office of Alumni Relations, is hosting the next UC CLAA Summit during UCSF Alumni Weekend.

UCSF Alumni Weekend offers a rich lineup of events, conversations, and celebrations—and we invite you to be part of it. Join fellow UC alumni as we come together to explore the various sessions, reconnect with our community, and engage in meaningful opportunities to learn, network, and grow throughout the weekend.

As a statewide collective, UC CLAA is committed to advancing the UC system to better serve the on‑campus and off‑campus Chicanx/Latinx community, including alumni, staff, faculty, and students. Your participation strengthens our shared mission and deepens our impact across California and beyond. Please join us for the following events: 

UCSF Talk: UC CLAA Presents "Student/Community Clinics —From Legacy to Leadership"
2:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.

University of California alumni who previously were involved in student-run clinics will come together to reflect on a legacy of community care — the enduring impact of UC’s Chicano Health Movement. Rooted in service to Latinx communities, student clinics were formative spaces where hands-on care, accountability to community, and collective leadership shaped alumni who now lead in health equity as clinicians, researchers, and advocates. Open to all Alumni Weekend attendees, this session explores how these early clinic experiences created health equity leaders — and why sustaining student/community clinics remains essential to advancing equitable care for future generations.

Comunidad con Cafecito in the Lounge
3:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.

Open to all Alumni Weekend attendees, this informal gathering invites alumni to pause, connect, and reflect between sessions while remaining engaged with the broader program.

Guests are welcome to enjoy coffee and pastries while exploring curated materials highlighting Latinx student initiatives, community clinics, and leadership pathways across UCSF. Hosted by Lina Mendez, PhD, executive director of Resource Centers for Climate and Belonging at UCSF, the space offers opportunities for conversation and discovery.

Whether you're stepping out briefly or lingering between talks, Comunidad con Cafecito is designed to support movement and community-building while keeping Saturday’s UCSF Talks at the center of Alumni Weekend activities.
