Organized by the Resident Assistants of Sixth College, Adelante is a cultural event to celebrate Chicanx, Latinx, and Hispanic heritage, share their traditions, and educate students about the diaspora of the people. We want to celebrate the commonalities that unite the Latinx community, but also celebrate the differences that exist across various cultures in order to debunk the stereotype that the Latinx community is a monolith. There will be food, activities, and entertainment, each of which will be representative of the various cultures from different Latin American countries. We will also be collaborating with various Latinx student organizations across campus to give them a platform at Adelante.
