El Reflejo/Sol y Canto was created as an alternative media outlet that covers news, politics, culture and the arts of the Chican@/Latin@ community, providing a space for CSULB students to engage in dialogue.


The publication was developed in a joint effort that came together as one. Sol Y Canto was developed to provide a space for the community at large to engage,true to the arts, in an expressive and informative dialogue.

El Reflejo was created out of the Latin@ Dialogues (of Fall 2005) that were conducted at CSULB in order to develop solutions to improve the retention and graduation rates of Chican@/ Latin@s at CSULB. Out of these talks, students, faculty, and staff decided that in order to improve the sense of inclusion for Chican@/Latin@ students at CSULB, there would be a need for a sort of representative media outlet to be used to address important issues and engage in dialogue.

Otherwise, you can contact any of us involved and we will gladly deposit your donation to the friendly Banco del Reflejo. Donations are used primarily to cover printing costs and only after much deliberation, to cover small costs associated with holding a fundraising event.
