LATAMIN
http://campus.northpark.edu/centers/latino/
The Latin American Initiatives as part of the Urban and Multicultural Collaboratory for Urban and
Intercultural Learning at North Park University educates and promotes the richness of the Latino peoples and
cultures enabling an understanding between all communities.
Our basic values include:
1. Educate others on Latino Cultures
2. Support Latino Students on the college path to success
3. Reduce prejudices and understanding and promote camaraderie between Latinos and the campus
community
4. Grow spiritually as we share our common ground in Christ
Uphold Latino values in a non-Latino society
The LATAMIN accomplishes these goals by bringing to campus performers, artists, and exhibitions that
demonstrate the richness and variety of U.S. Latina/o culture, through curriculum development, and the sponsoring
of lectures, colloquia, and conferences on special topics in Latino studies.
