LHC 2024: Herencia Unites, Cultura Ignites

The university community celebrates the history and cultural expressions of the Latin Community. The theme “Herencia Unites, Cultura Ignites” represents the ability heritage has to bring people together while we recognize and highlight the diversity across Latin America. We celebrate the vibrant traditions and honor the cultures that have shaped the lives of so many. Latin Heritage Month at GW fosters a sense of unity and belonging amongst our university community.

The 2024 Latin Heritage Celebration committee is comprised of a committed group of Latin student organization leaders and campus partners committed to sharing the full breadth of Latin culture. For more information follow @gwu.lhc on Instagram.
