  • Latino Family Visit Day (LFVD)

    Latino Family Visit Day is a bilingual, daylong program open to all students and families. Participants will connect with campus resources, meet university staff, and engage in activities and meaningful dialogue about academics, financial aid, campus life, the transition to college, and supporting student success.

    A family of five smiles together at a University of Illinois event while wearing matching navy-blue Illinois and Latinx-themed shirts. The shirts include the words “Illinois Papá,” “Illinois Familia,” and “Latinx.”

  • Lunch on Us

    Lunch on Us is La Casa Cultural Latina’s signature educational and community-building series, held on select Thursdays throughout the academic year and open to all University of Illinois students. Over a free lunch, students participate in meaningful conversations, interactive workshops, panel discussions, and presentations led by campus and community partners.

    A group of eight college students sit around a long table sharing a meal and smiling toward the camera inside a brightly colored cultural center. Plates of food, drinks, and conversation fill the table, creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere. In the background, additional students sit at an information table with a \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"Prospera\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" banner, while colorful artwork, large portraits, international flags, and a Día de los Muertos skeleton decoration add vibrant cultural elements to the space. Large windows bring in natural light, reinforcing the sense of community and belonging.
