About the Conference
The Indiana Latinx Leadership Conference was established to provide a venue that celebrates the uniqueness of Latinx students in a forum by and for students. This forum seeks to cultivate the exchange of ideas, values, and beliefs in order to promote scholarship, leadership, cultural awareness and community. By focusing on these goals, the planning committee believes it will encourage further academic inquiry, student development, and empowerment of Indiana's college and high schools Latinxs.
The conference’s purpose is also to fulfill an increasing need for awareness of specific challenges Latinxs face in obtaining education. The result is the forming of a community of leaders that support Latinx students in achieving academic success. Although the conference concerns topics concerning the Latinx community, the conference encourages the participation and involvement of individuals from all other cultural and racial backgrounds.
