Students, faculty and staff at San Diego Mesa College are invited to march in the 37th annual Martin Luther King Jr. Parade on Sunday, Jan. 15 from 2 to 5 p.m.
“We would love to have a strong Mesa College presence and invite the campus to join the festivities,” said Victoria Miller, Dean of Student Affairs. “We will march in the parade with great pride, wearing our unified college shirts, present a grand float which encompasses the theme of ‘Living the Dream, Let Freedom Ring’ while having fun connecting with our community.”
For the past decade, Mesa’s participation in the parade has been organized by Courtney Lee, Senior Student Services Assistant in Student Affairs. The parade, which is held by the Zeta Sigma Lambda chapter of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, will march down North Harbor Drive to the Embarcadero and usually includes 100-200 marchers from Mesa College.
“The parade is important because it’s a community building event,” Lee said. “Creating a physical community for the students is very important for student success.”
This year, the float is being built on a flatbed trailer by Lee, Drama Theater Technician Chris Renda and Stockroom Supervisor Frank Fernandez.
For more information about participating in the parade, sign up for the mailing list online or contact Courtney Lee via email at [email protected] or via phone at (619) 388-2699.
