Indiana University, Bloomington. Latino Cultural Center

The Latino Cultural Center was established at Indiana University in 1973. It is more affectionately known as La Casa.

Its purpose was, and continues to be, to achieve through educational and social programs, a greater historical, political and cultural awareness regarding Latina/os. As an advocacy office, they work closely with other units on campus to assist in the recruitment and retention of Latina/o students. La Casa operated under the Office of Latino Affairs until 1999, when the OLA and other minority offices on campus were dissolved and their duties taken over by the newly formed Office of Multicultural Affairs.
