Changing the face of education
Chicano
student activism resulted in major educational reforms.
The University was persuaded to offer Chicano Studies
courses and increase the number of students and faculty of

these protests.
Juan Jose Bocanegra came to
the UW from Texas in 1971 for graduate studies in the School of Social
Work. He has been a movement activist ever since. (2 min)
