OUR STORY
Dealing with the challenges of Latinx exclusion and representation at the University of Michigan, La Casa emerged out of a pursuit to advocate and support the Latinx community. Established in 2017, we’re an organization driven by bold actions, passion, and a strong community.

The University of Michigan is located on the traditional territory of the Anishinaabe people.
In 1817, the Ojibwe, Odawa, and Bodewadami Nations made the largest single land transfer to the University of Michigan. This was offered ceremonially as a gift through the Treaty at the Foot of the Rapids so that their children could be educated. Through these words of acknowledgment, their contemporary and ancestral ties to the land and their contributions to the University are renewed and reaffirmed.
