Welcome to La Casa Latina's Home Page

OUR MISSION STATEMENT

• In the efforts to preserve the Latino history and culture, La Casa Latina aspires to instill the significance of the Latino heritage into the Drew Community. Its members strive toward broadening the education of and securing knowledge about the Latino culture and community within and around Drew University. The ambition of house members is to raise awareness about issues concerning Latinos through programming, which serves as a means of strengthening the presence and importance of diversity at this institution. La Casa Latina is a place which allows individuals to explore, experience, and absorb culture through language, traditions, food, values, and music. It is through these aspects of culture that La Casa Latina represents diversity to its fullest extent. Along with this exchange of culture, La Casa Latina provides an environment where education can continue beyond the classroom. The doors of La Casa lead to a world of knowledge and growth, for it is more than a place to live and learn, it is a home.
