Rep.
Sonny Ganaden, a former instructor in the Department of Ethnic Studies and Department of American Studies, presented a congratulatory certificate signed by members of the legislature to Department Chair

Ethnic studies started as a two-year experimental program in the fall of 1970 in the midst of several political movements. It has since prospered into a department providing a quality education and serving as a major community contributor.
