De Anza College

Last week we launched CAN/DID, an ongoing multimedia series that builds on the knowledge and experience of the De Anza College community as we explore equity and social justice issues. One strong theme of the series is listening to and learning from the struggles of many different groups and individuals. As counselor and series participant Robert Alexander put it: it's humanizing. Stay tuned for the next installment of the series later today and follow updates at deanza.edu/candid.
