Events
These are some of the major events of MAR de UC Davis. As a community service-based organization, we make it our main goal to raise enough funds for the two large community service events that we host during the spring quarter, which are Migrant Center and Youth Conference. We work very hard all year to plan these two events and fund-raise for them. We also have other events that allow our members to bond and create a network of support.

Migrant CenterMigrant Center is an event that takes place at a local migrant camp, in which we provide donations, workshops, resources, food, entertainment, and children's activities to migrant workers and their families all for free. The information and resources given focus on physical and mental health and education. Migrant Center of spring 2016 included blood pressure checks by Shifa Community Clinic and workshops on domestic violence, pesticides, and getting involved in children's education.

Fall General RetreatEvery year during the fall quarter, the Mujeres take a trip to Lake Tahoe and rent a cabin for a weekend. This is a great opportunity for members to bond and create lifelong friendships. We have games, activities, time to wander around town, and, of course, study time. We strongly believe that making these connections in college contributes to students' retention and academic success.

Celebrating 27 Years!
Towards the end of every academic year, we have a formal/banquet to celebrate our accomplishments, award our members for their commitment, and congratulate the graduating seniors. In 2016, we celebrated our 27th anniversary as an organization. We are extremely proud of our members for all the hard work they put into creating a successful organization.
