SWANA Programming at Mosaic
For the 2024-2025 school year, Mosaic has been fortunate enough to recieve additional funding to implement programming that highlights the stories, cultures, histories, and social justice topics relevant to the SWANA community!
SWANA programming is planned by our Faculty Fellow, Dr. Saugher Nojan from SJSU's Department of Asian American Studies, and our inaugural SWANA Cultural Programmer.
