Students walking in line to Latinx gradution

Latinx Community

Bienvenidos to the information hub for LMU’s Latinx Community.

LMU is committed to prioritizing the success of students, staff, and faculty from historically underrepresented and marginalized communities. One step in this mission is to increase access to the resources, groups and programs that can facilitate a greater sense of inclusion and belonging for all members of the LMU community who identify as Latine, Latinx, Latina, Latino or Hispanic.

This is a space for members of the Latinx community to continue to build connections, mentor and support one another, advance career and educational opportunities, and help community members thrive at LMU.
