SDCHM Education Programs

SDCHM hosts school field trips and classes, and can send speakers to schools.  We also provide remote options for our programs in schools.  

For more information, please review our page on school programs.

The SDCHM provides public lectures on a regular basis, starting with our Third Saturday Lecture series, and continuing with our joint program (with the SDSU Chinese Cultural Center), under the title The Chinese American Experience & Beyond.
