Special Events Subcommittee 

Co-chairs: Vanessa Padilla, vmoral2@uic.edu
Jose Perales, jperales@uic.edu

This subcommittee coordinates different events which not only develop but enhance the relationship between Latinos at UIC. The biggest event organized by this subcommittee is the annual LCUA Recognition Dinner which is held at the end of the Spring Semester. This past May 2000, the event was held at the Sheraton Chicago, Hotel and Towers, and was attended by more than 800 people, of which about 150 were Latino graduates, and the rest were family and friends. Some UIC dignitaries and community leaders were also present. The purpose of this event is, of course, to recognize the students' achievements, and act as an encouragement for families and friends of successful students; it promotes UIC as a supportive educational environment.
