Latinx in Architecture Fundraiser: El Arranque!
Mingle with students and colleagues at El Arranque!, LiA’s annual fundraiser to support the CASA Alumni scholarship, benefiting Latinx students at UC Berkeley’s College of Environmental Design.
El Arranque! will be held at the AIA East Bay headquarters in the beautiful Brower Center in downtown Berkeley. The program will include an introduction by Roy Hernandez, founder of the CASA Alumni Scholarship, and will feature Alberto Perez, Vice President of Business Acquisition for XL Construction and a committed advocate and champion for the Latinx community.
