The mural, designed by Oxnard College alumna and artist Elissa Torres, spans multiple walls of the college’s Condor Hall and features images of students and a farmworker. Chumash elder Julie Tumamait-Stenslie and Filipino American labor leader Larry Itliong are also depicted.

Oxnard College was founded in 1975 after a campaign from local families, community leaders and activists, joining sister institutions in Moorpark and Ventura.

The college has grown since a post-pandemic enrollment dip. Earlier this year, it reached the highest springtime enrollment since 2010 with 7,600 students. The bump comes along with a new dental hygiene bachelor’s program that launched in the fall and what the college said are expanding workforce development, dual enrollment and English as a second language programs.
