October is Legacy Month on campus at SJSU. Established by the Cesar E. Chavez Community Action Center, Legacy Month includes five major events on campus. These events all support the SJSU Legacy Initiative, which reads as follows:
"(a) to make social justice issues more central to the campus mission, (b) to develop community, (c) to encourage critical-thinking about complex societal issues, and (d) to have students begin to explore how their field of study or future career can play a part in finding solutions."*
The process of achieving Social Justice does not only apply to fields such as Justice Studies or Anthropology. It requires an interdisciplinary collaboration among SJSU students to launch an "institutionalized campus-wide effort."*
