Remembering the past, reflecting on the present, envisioning the future
There is a saying in Spanish, con el corazón en mano (with the heart in hand), which implies that someone is coming to you or welcoming you with honest and peaceful intentions. The Rafael Cintrón Ortiz Latino Cultural Center at UIC does just that for Latinos and anyone who wishes to expand their knowledge about the cultural heritage of Latino communities and promote the value of cultural diversity.
At the beginning of the Spring 2012 semester we began a campaign to reach 1,000 "likes" on our Facebook page to be met at the end of the Spring 2012 semester. On May 04th, 2012 at 12 noon we reached the 1,000 "like" goal. Thank you to all of our supporters who liked and shared our page.
Our programs were recently highlighted in a piece written by Chemistry student Leticia Diaz.
