The Latino Cultural Center is one of the five Centers for Diversity at UIC.
These offices report to the Vice Provost for Undergraduate Affairs
The Latino Cultural Center strives for the creation of a positive atmosphere through the development of educational, cultural, and social programs, which will lead to a greater retention, and advancement of Latino students.
The Center aims to instill and encourage others to pursue and understand Latino issues.
The Center aims to complement, aid and influence UIC's urban mission to serve as a linkage between the University community and the outside Latino community, especially by providing the latter with university programs and services and by bringing community concerns to the attention of the Campus community.
The space provided by the Rafael Cintron-Ortiz Latino Cultural Center is available to UIC students, faculty, and staff as well as City and community organizations provided events abide by the Center mission.
Please contact the Center at 312-996-3095 or lcc@uic.edu for more information or fill out our online Space Reservation Form.
