Thanks so much for all of your support Chikako, Kim, and SEHE faculty for
the IE Labor & Community Center (IELCC)!!!! If you missed our center's
fundraising dinner celebration last week & would like to donate to support
future UCR Labor Summer fellows and other IELCC initiatives, our donation

Donations of ANY amount are welcome (tickets to the dinner started at

More info on our center, can be found on our website: *ielcc.ucr.edu

Follow us on instagram *@ielaborandcommunity*

And if any of you would like to join our growing list of *Faculty
Affiliates or Faculty Advisory Committee *(see
https://ielcc.ucr.edu/faculty-advisors-affiliates) or know about them, let
me know by replying to me via email or sending me a message.

*IELCC Faculty Affiliates* receive periodic updates about our center,
invitations to our events, and help to support our efforts on campus (e.g.,
helping to spread the word about IELCC-related opportunities for UCR
students, such as Labor Summer (https://ielcc.ucr.edu/labor-summer) and the
Bill Perez Scholarship for student labor & community organizers (
https://ielcc.ucr.edu/bill-perez-scholarship).

Members of the *IELCC Faculty Advisory Committee* meet about once per year
to help to review and provide suggestions for our center and its work, if
interested, can help out in other ways too.

All the best,
Ellen Reese
