LHC 2025: Raíces Que Nos Guian

The university community celebrates the history and cultural expressions of the Latin Community. The theme 'Raíces Que Nos Guian' centers the works and humanity of our ancestors and lineages to preserve our culture, identity and community. In this time more than ever, it is important to honor and build off of the foundation that has been laid before us. Much of what we celebrate today is thanks to the ancestral knowledge and practices of our Indigenous and Afro Indigenous culture. Let us take this time to dive deeper and explore the elements of our historical and cultural past that strengthen us, encourage us and most importantly guide us through life’s strongest battles.

The 2025 Latin Heritage Celebration committee is comprised of a group of Latin student organization leaders committed to sharing the full breadth of Latin culture on campus. For more information, follow @lhc.gwu on Instagram and visit their webpage.
