Welcome to your home away from home.
Be part of the Latinx/a/o community on campus at UConn’s Puerto Rican/Latin American Cultural Center, where you’ll connect with your roots, with your peers, and with the leader you’re meant to become.
Discover connection. Discover your heritage. Discover yourself.
I think the easiest way to get involved is METAS. I think that the METAS program, our mentoring program, has been a very good gateway or a very good entryway for students to kind of get involved in the space, to meet some wonderful students here.
PRLACC is an amazing cultural center. I think it gave me a voice. It showed me that I could meet other students that looked like me and felt the same experiences on campus like me. And it gave me a group of friends that helped turn me into an activist on campus.

About the Puerto Rican / Latin American Cultural Center

PRLACC is a vibrant cultural center open to all students, faculty, staff, and community members interested in promoting awareness, appreciation, and understanding of Latinx/a/o issues and the rich diversity of Latinx/a/o individuals and Latin American cultures. Whether using our physical space to learn, study, relax, or visit with friends; immersing oneself in an aspect of Latinx/a/o culture at one of our events; or taking advantage of resources like our mentoring programs and student organizations, people find they can be themselves at PRLACC, just as they would at home.
