"Under the Same Moon" screening and post movie discussion

CHispPA would like to thank Eva Blanco and Santa Clara University for inviting us to collaborate with them on Thursday night's "Under the Same Moon" screening and post movie interview with writer and executive producer Ligiah Villalobos. We truly enjoyed our participation on this project!


Alex would also like to thank the CHispPA Board members who helped put this project together as well as all of the CHispPA members and friends that came out to support this event.


It was truly a pleasure and an honor to have interview Ms. Villalobos as she was incredibly open, insightful, passionate and inspiring with all of her answers.


Eva Blanco, Assistance Dean, Undergraduate Admissions - Santa Clara University, presented Ms. Villalobos with a certificate of recognition.


Lastly, the entire audience at the screening loved the movie and was able to see why it has been such a well-received film and why it has received such critical acclaim.
