Latino Living Center

Latino Living Center, Ithaca, NY 14850

Latino Living Center's 55 residents represent a wide variety of heritages and backgrounds, but all share a common interest in Latinx/a/o culture, history, and current events. Their appreciation for the values of Latinx/a/o heritage includes respect for individuals, dedication to education, commitment to community, and the importance of family.

A sign saying "Bienvenidos A Su Casa" - Welcome to Your Home - greets residents as they arrive on campus each semester. LLC truly is more than just a place to live. It quickly becomes a home, with all the comforts provided by a strong, familial environment. That is the Latinx way!

The Café Con Leche weekly discussion series, annual retreats, community dinners, intramural sports clubs, and Latinx Heritage Month festivities are traditional LLC events, In addition, dances, movie nights, faculty dinners, and various celebrations - including Dia de los Muertos, Day Hall Takeover Commemoration Week, and birthday parties - are scattered throughout each semester.
