A Message to Alumni and Friends
To our alumni and supporters:
We very much appreciate your continued interest in the mission of Thurgood Marshall College, and sincerely hope that you will remain an active member of our college community for the rest of your life. As you know, Marshall College is largely a labor of love, and it takes many individuals to realize the dream that TMC represents. Without your support, we could never realize the goal of a fully inclusive community envisioned by our founders.
There are several worthy projects at Marshall College in need of your help. Most pressing right now is our current outreach effort with the Gompers Charter Middle School 
in Southeast San Diego. This school has been a wonderful textbook model of community/parental involvement, and it only takes a visit to the Gompers campus to understand this. We encourage you to become engaged and informed about Gompers. Asisting the school through donations of your time and any available resources you may have. Help keep this transformative dream alive! Please see us whenever you are in town; we are always overjoyed to see former students renew their vital relationships with the Marshall mission.
We invite you to join us for this autumn's Marshall Week 2009, featuring Pulitzer Prize columnist from the New York Times Nicholas Kristof on the topic of women's rights in the Asian rim. Our featured speakers for Marshall Week 2008 were legendary civil rights activist Julian Bond (NAACP Chair) and Little Rock Nine member Dr. Terrence Roberts. Marshall Week autumn 2008, we hosted keynote speakers playwright and filmmaker Luis Valdez, (father of Chicano theatre), Harvard lawyer and human rights advocate Jacqueline Bhabha, and Oscar nominated director/writer Greg Nava who presented a new print of his legendary film El Norte (25th anniversary) http://provost.ucsd.edu/humanrights/ . As an enhancement to that week, we stretched the Human Rights theme into Black History Month 2009 with Nobel Laureate author and activist Wole Soyinka's February keynote.
