Supervisors Jackie Fielder, Chyanne Chen, Rafael Mandelman and members of the city college board of trustees attended a ceremony for the street\u2019s renaming on Saturday, celebrating Dr. del Portillo who served for decades as the dean of the city college\u2019s Mission Campus, where she started as a counselor in 1972. In 2010, she founded Friends of the Mission Campus, an organization that\u2019s awarded thousands in scholarships.<\/p>\n

Del Portillo helped found the Mexican American Political Association in the 60\u2019s and the Latino Democratic Club in the 80\u2019s and has a long history of education, job training and political activism across the city.

A resolution by the Board of Supervisors adopted on July 28 recognized del Portillo\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n
