Mission
Our group promotes inclusion and diversity within Case Western Reserve University and our local community. We aim to voice the values, achievements, and concerns of our Hispanic/Latino faculty and staff members and to work with Hispanic students' organizations such as La Alianza and the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE) to increase recruitment and retention of our Latino student population. We also work with Hispanic and Latino organizations and groups outside the university to build bridges of collaboration and to promote cultural diversity and public service.

In the last few years, the Latino population has grown quite significantly at CWRU. Our university's classrooms now have more Latino students, as well as students of Latino descent, than at any previous time. Our goal is to help this increasing population thrive, fulfill their professional dreams, and feel welcomed and at home at Case Western Reserve University while at the same time enhancing the performance and opportunities of our Latino staff and faculty.

One of our main missions is to share the richness of the Latino culture among our colleagues and students and allow our CWRU community to enjoy and admire its diversity. We also aim to build a bridge between our university and the Hispanic community established in Cleveland and surrounding areas to increase cooperation and explore opportunities to work together. We hope to attract more Hispanic students from our neighboring communities to CWRU, to attract and retain Latino staff and faculty, and facilitate the participation of our Latino community in Cleveland's local Hispanic activities and programs.

With that in mind, our group promotes a culture of understanding, respect and recognition of what this diversity brings into our life and into human and professional growth.

All, regardless of race or ethnicity, are invited to join the group.
