Heritage & Identity Celebrations

Heritage & identity-based programs seek to foster a sense of community amongst students and the campus community by highlighting the diverse cultures represented at the University and fostering intercultural engagement. These programs strategically highlight underrepresented or marginalized populations to ensure a sense of belonging and connectedness to the UofL community. These programs are designed to acknowledge difference, while cultivating a shared sense of community, support, and belongingness for all students and campus community members.
