With generous funding from the Office of Cultural Affairs & Economic Development with the City of San Jose (Spring 2024), we are able to offer a new set of in-person walking tours free. This funding allowed the project to invite new student and faculty tour guides, logistical coordinators, and create new print materials for the attendees.
