CSP Presents: Chicano Latino Year End Celebration
Chicano Student Programs hosts an annual end-of-the-year event that celebrates graduating Highlanders. The annual Chicano Latino Year-End Celebration is a beautiful event that takes place the week before University Commencement. The purpose of the celebration is to celebrate students' personal success and academic achievements in the spirit and traditions of the Chicano/Latino culture. The celebration is dedicated to the graduates’ families and is bilingual. See 2022 UCR Chicano Latino Year End Celebration to get an idea of this annual celebration. The celebration is open to all graduating students (undergraduate and graduate).
