MiraCosta College, Our Host Welcome to MiraCosta College, where student equity takes a backseat to no one. At MiraCosta College, it is our mission to provide superior educational opportunities and student support services for a diverse population of learners. A 121acre, hilltop campus with stunning views stretching from the mountains to the sea, MiraCosta College’s Oceanside Campus is the ideal venue for The Latino Book & Family Festival.

When it comes to outdoor events, nothing can surpass the Campus Quad. Anchored by the landmark clock tower, the centrally located Quad includes lush lawns, a relaxing fountain, and an inviting pavilion – not to mention a cafeteria and art gallery just a few steps away. Best of all, the Oceanside Campus offers easy access from the 5 and 78 freeways plus ample free parking.

As a designated Hispanic Serving Institution, MiraCosta College is positioned for grants and services geared to dramatically improve the success of Latino students who make up 40% of our student body. Among our many successful programs is the Puente Project, which provides the support and counseling to better help Latino students navigate the myriad challenges they can face and provides a clear pathway to help them achieve their goal in a timely fashion.
