Every fall quarter, the UCLA Latinx Welcome Planning Committee hosts a Latinx Welcome event for new and continuing Latinx undergraduate and graduate students, where they can connect with current students, staff, faculty and alumni.
The Latinx Welcome aims to accomplish the following:
- Send affirming and welcoming messages to all Latinx students and their families
- Increase student’s knowledge of campus-wide resources, organizations and opportunities
- Foster self-efficacy and community-efficacy
- Increase knowledge of Latinx contributions to UCLA and higher education
The 2023 Latinx Welcome: Creciendo Nuestro Futuro was a successful bienvenida for students. The event will took place on Monday, October 9th from 4:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. at Wilson Plaza and was free and open to the public.
