Programs at La Casa
La Casa programs are designed to address and integrate our six strategic foci.
Cultural celebrations such as Fiesta create a sense of cultural pride on campus and Dinner Dialogues present issues of important to students and the Latina/o community at large.
New student programs, META peer mentoring and retention program and networks, and ally building workshops create a sustained sense of campus inclusivity.
Programs to enhance networking skills and professional development feature active collaborations with such campus units as the Illinois Leadership Centerand the Career Center.
Community Outreach programs assist in Illinois students' appreciation of the Latina/o community beyond the university, while promoting higher education to Latina/o youth.
The creation of the Latina Latino Alumni Association and other professional outreach programs strengthens the Latina/o community network across Illinois and beyond.
Focus groups and public fora ensure that student, alumni and community voices resonate throughout La Casa.
The programs and events held at La Casa are free and open to university students, faculty and staff, as well as community members and guests of the university.
