Día de la Familia at º£ÌÄÖ±²¥ is a family-responsive, community-centered open house that celebrates MJC's identity as a Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI). Our mission is to welcome families onto campus, foster cultural celebration, promote literacy, and connect our community with MJC’s educational programs and support services. Through inclusive and educational programming, we aim to create a space where families feel seen, valued, and engaged in the college-going culture.
