Welcome! This is the official blog in all matters relating to the Tomas Rivera Conference, which is held annually at the University of California, Riverside.

For those unfamiliar with the Tomas Rivera Conference, it is an annual event that commemorates the life of Tomas Rivera, the first Mexican-American to hold the position of Chancellor in the University of California system. Previous conferences have included events such as the construction of a truck made out of burlap, screenwriting workshops with Hispanic writers, and showcasing rare photos of Tomas Rivera at the Rivera library.

In the coming weeks, this blog will include photos and student testimonials about the 2009 conference! Be on the lookout!
