As we mark Hispanic Heritage Month, we take pride in the rich and diverse cultures that shape our comunidad. This is a time to honor the histories and contributions of our UCLA network whose roots trace to Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America. It is also a moment to reflect on the UCLA Latino Alumni Association’s journey and how our vision, mission and values continue to uplift our community.
This month, we celebrate our past, present and future. We are proud of our heritage and excited for what lies ahead. Thank you for being part of the UCLA Latino Alumni Association. ¡Adelante!
