Office of Cultural Engagement for the Hispanic Community

Office of Cultural Engagement for the Hispanic Community OCE is a co-curricular unit of Syracuse University, engaging with the wider community of Central NY

OCE is a gateway to dynamic alliances among scholars and Hispanic cultural programming and research, statewide, nationally, and abroad. OCE’s goal is to foster successful collaborations, matching SU’s resources with external support to generate funding and build human capital through educational, artistic, and academic interactions. This is in alignment with the growing demand for students to effectively train for the global workplace.

La Casita turns 15! We invite our community to share memories, photos, videos, keepsakes and heirlooms, quinceañera dresses—also stories of quinceañeras from years past.

We want to celebrate your quinceañera stories and experiences in a beautiful exhibition that La Casita will present to commemorate its 15th anniversary.

Is there a quinceañera in the family this year? We invite you to celebrate her special day at La Casita during Hispanic Heritage Month, on September 18, 2026, at the opening of the exhibition: Quinceañera Dreams.

For more information, please contact La Casita via email: [email protected] or call 315.443.2151.
