Last Thursday, April 13th, the Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CLACS) department at Indiana University held its 2023 Reception. The event was filled with food, happiness, and friends as people from different areas of expertise and interests around IU gathered to share and celebrate Latin American and Caribbean topics.
The reception provided a great opportunity for individuals to come together and learn from each other's experiences and knowledge. Whether it was discussing the history of a particular country or sharing stories about their travels to the region, the event created a space where everyone's voices could be heard.
The Latin American and Caribbean Studies department at IU is dedicated to promoting interdisciplinary scholarship, teaching, and public engagement related to Latin America and the Caribbean. By hosting events like the CLACS Reception, they are able to bring together a diverse group of people to celebrate and learn about the region's rich cultural heritage and history.
Overall, the 2023 Reception was a success and provided a glimpse into the vibrant and diverse community that CLACS has created at Indiana University. It is through events like this that we can learn from one another and continue to promote cross-cultural understanding and appreciation.
