LHC 2023: Ritmos y Raíces
Join the university community in celebrating the history and cultural expressions of the Latine Community. This year’s Latin Heritage Celebration theme, "Ritmos y Raíces," aims to educate and enrich the GW community on Latine heritage through a series of programs, presentations, and events throughout the months of September and October.
The Latin Heritage Celebration 2023 committee comprises a committed group of Latine student organization leaders and campus partners committed to sharing the full breadth of Latine culture.
Ritmos y Raíces paints a melody of togetherness, celebrating our Latin community's colorful notes of diversity. This month we dance to the rhythm of unity, weaving our unique stories into a harmonious tale for celebration.
