Serving in Congress for 26 years, Napolitano intends for this collection to enrich scholarly pursuits on California\u2019s representation, congressional studies, and the state\u2019s historical narrative.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Risa Dickson, president of the Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ;Verne, expressed enthusiasm for the donation, stating, \u201cThis is an incredible moment for the institution in so many ways, and the culmination of a lot of hard work. Representative Napolitano has been a strong advocate and powerful voice for immigration reform, voting rights, veterans, small businesses, and women. These archives will serve to educate and inspire Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ;Verne\u2019s students, researchers, and future public servants.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In 2019, Napolitano received an Honorary Doctorate in Humane Letters from ULV, in recognition of her illustrious career. Notably, her advocacy secured $2.2 million in federal funding to establish the Institute of Mental Health and Psychological Well-Being at La&nbsp;Verne.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Napolitano was born in Brownsville, Texas and attended Cerritos College. She served as Mayor of Norwalk and California State Assemblymember, before being elected as a representative to the 106<sup>th<\/sup> and twelve succeeding Congresses (January 3, 1999, to January 3, 2025).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Located at the Wilson Library, the ULV archives are open to the public from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. These archives include photographs, U.S. Military Challenge Coins, speeches, and a wrestling belt symbolizing her staunch advocacy for mental health awareness. Additionally, the collection features newsletters, important pieces of legislation Napolitano sponsored or co-sponsored, constituent correspondence, and more.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>An exhibition showcasing a substantial portion of the archival collection will be hosted at the Harris Art Gallery adjacent to the Wilson Library until May 1, with a return engagement from June 1 to July 15.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Representative Grace F.
