The Latino Cultural Center envisions a more inclusive campus where we can respectfully challenge each other to uphold principles of human dignity that ensures the nourishment and protection of cultural diversity.

Our mission is to engage the UIC campus and local communities to deepen understanding of the diverse cultural heritages and identities of Latinxs, issues affecting their lives, and creative solutions they are using to improve community life.
