Dolores Huerta and César Chávez Community Room ~ CLS Academic Resource Center (ARC)

Dancing in the ARCThe ARC is a colorful place where you can relax, do homework, or simply gather to build an academic community with other CLS students. The lounge offers access to desktop computers with internet access, printing, a scanner, and snacks.  An academic community and connection awaits you! The murals on the walls of the ARC were painted in 2000 by students under the guidance of artist Deborah Kuetzpal Vasquez with assistance from Malaquias Montoya.  Vasquez received her MFA from the University of Wisconsin that same year and served as a lecturer for the CLS Program.  She is now an Associate Professor of Visual Art at Our Lady of the Lake University in San Antonio, Texas.

Summer 2021 Hours:  Closed to the public.  We will re-open public spaces during the Fall semester.
