You're invited by Linfield University Latinx Adelante (LULA) students to a vibrant celebration of Hispanic culture!

What Hispanic Heritage Month means to me
Honoring Latinx Culture
My name is Marisa Steinberg and I am a first-year student here at Linfield majoring in studio art. As soon as I arrived at Linfield, I became involved with Linfield University Latinx Adelante (LULA). From the very beginning, LULA became a place to hang out with people that I have many things in common with. I found my Latino community and I’ve met some really nice people.
Creating connections through real conversations
WildX
WildX (Weekly Insight and Dialogue Across Campus) meetings provide a brave space for the Linfield community to discuss and process what's going on in our world today. Led by our faculty, they occur on Zoom every Friday during the semester. The conversation on Friday, October 15 featured students from LULA, Linfield University Latinx Adelante club, and Linfield's interim director of diversity, equity and inclusion.
