"萨克拉门托州 welcomed a record crowd of more than 6,000 Latino students and their family members on Saturday, Oct. 13, for the Feria de Educación, a one-day education workshop designed for Spanish speakers looking ahead to a college career.
这个免费的活动今年已经是第六年了，是博彩平台、博彩平台和西班牙语电视网络Univision合作举办的。 它为K-12学生和他们的监护人提供信息研讨会、供应商摊位、现场娱乐和校园参观。

“The success of this year’s Feria de Educación is the result of five years of assessing the event, its various components, and the needs of our Spanish-speaking community,” Diaz said. “It took a highly dedicated team and the support of many on-campus departments/programs and off-campus agencies/organizations to help host the best Feria de Educación ever seen at 萨克拉门托州.
“We are proud of our campus and the impact it is having in the Spanish-speaking community through this event.”
克里斯托弗·托雷斯（Christopher Torres）是高尔特自由牧场高中（Liberty Ranch High School）的高年级学生，他是参加Feria学习更多大学录取程序的数千名学生之一。
“I want as much information as possible, since I’m going to be the first one in my family to attend college,” Torres said. “I want to learn more about financial aid, admissions, and how to fill out applications.”
Torres said that information would help him reach his goal of earning a bachelor’s degree in psychology and, eventually, a law degree.
“It is important to empower our Spanish-speaking community whose children will be the first in their families to go to college by introducing them to information and resources that will help advance their lives in a culturally sensitive environment,” Diaz said.
Diaz also said the Feria bridges the cultural gap between Spanish-speaking parents and California’s educational system by providing resources designed to support a higher-education culture in the Latinx population.
Among this year’s highlights was a Transfer Corner that attracted approximately 200 community college students who met with advisors to review transcripts and plan their next steps.
The event included offerings in English and Spanish, including financial aid workshops, assistance navigating the CSU’s online application portal, 加州申请, and educational opportunities for undocumented students.
