Rockin\u2019 Jalape\u00f1o Band, with Skyline College Professor John Ulloa on drums, and poet Sandra Garcia Rivera on September 16, 2014.\u00a0 Over two hundred and fifty students, staff and faculty attended the event and were treated to pan-Latino styles of music from Dr. Loco and delicious food from El Metate of San Francisco.\u00a0 Sandra\u2019s poetry challenged and inspired attendees to
