EWU Home Football Game
September 28 @ 5:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Mariachi las Águilas will be playing and Chicana/o/x Studies will be honored.
Mariachi Las Águilas (The Eagles) is an EWU music organization comprised of students, alumni, and family members who dedicate their time to learning and performing mariachi music. It provides a cultural home for all those who love mariachi music. In addition, Las Águilas musicians represent EWU in the community by performing on campus, throughout Spokane, and beyond. In addition to showcasing the allure and artistry of mariachi, their performances serve as a connection between the university and the broader Latino community.
In 1977 a group of students of Mexican ancestry who identified as Chicana/os in recognition of their unique social, cultural, and political identities joined forces with a Chicano Art Professor, Rubén Trejo, to establish the Chicano Education Program. Since its creation, this program has served as an academic and community center for students and their families.
