The purpose of La Conferencia is to provide a space for students, staff, and faculty to network and create a discourse about access, social development, education, positive communication, and cross-cultural understanding in a Latinx-centered setting. We aim to develop this into a space for people to convene annually to have critical dialogue, and exchange of information in order to empower the next generation of thinkers.
La Conferencia
What Makes this Program Unique?
This is an annual conference right here at UNC that is open to everyone to connect around interests and ideas of the Latinx community. It a fun time to connect with peers on campus as well as alumni, community members, and students from other institutions.
There is not another conference like this in the Southeast that centers the experiences of people in the South. We are open to students who want to attend as well as those who would like to participate as a committee member.
