The Carolina Latinx Center is committed to developing a greater awareness of Latina/o issues, cultures and identities by building collaborative relationships across campus and the community. Through these relationships, the Center has created a network that connects various groups on campus involved in academic and cultural projects and programs. The Center provides a supportive environment for students, faculty, staff and alumni to discuss and understand important issues that affect the Latinx community. We provide a welcoming space for Latinx students through resources and services that foster and enrich their academic, social and cultural experience. The Center offers its offices, gallery and meeting space for interdisciplinary innovations in scholarship, education, culture, and community engagement. Along with other programming, the Center organizes major annual campus-wide events - Latinx Heritage Month Celebration, and La Conferencia. Collaborates with the UNC Program in Latina/o Studies, Mi Pueblo, the Spanish House and others to create programs that represent the rich diversity of the Latinx Community and reflect the artistic, academic, cultural, social and political aspects of all Latinxs at Carolina.
