The Latinx Resource Center opened in late 2019, and quickly moved to virtual because of the pandemic, so not many were familiar with one of UCI's newest centers. With UCI as a Hispanic-Serving Institution for five years, with a steady growth in UCI's Latino student population over the past decade – not to mention throughout the state of California – the time was right to dedicate a center where students can build community, while accessing programs and resources that celebrate their heritage. On the UCI Podcast, Latinx Resource Center director adelí durón shares insights into how students can effectively use and engage with the center, as well as shares some big plans for the future.
