WCU Latinx Communities Conference

This interdisciplinary conference provides a creative space to enhance the understanding of Latinx issues, contributions, and cultures. This annual conference informs the university and broader community about a wide range of issues concerning the Latinx population in Pennsylvania and beyond, and represents twelve years of working to build and strengthen ties between West Chester University and the community, as embodied in our theme “Building Bridges/Construyendo Puentes.”

This year, the conference will celebrate and commemorate its fifteenth anniversary with the performance of a campus mural by renowned Chilean artist Alejandro Mono González, followed by a reception open to public on September 28th, 2023.
