Join UMAS y MEXA de CU Boulder to celebrate the dedication of the community-created Los Seis Sculpture in front of Temporary Building 1! The sculpture was created to honor the lives of six Chicano student activists and CU Boulder alumni: Una Jaakola, Neva Romero, Florencio Granado, Francisco Dougherty, Heriberto Terán, and Reyes Martínez.
