Earlier this month, La Alianza, in partnership with the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers, hosted Noche Latina, a night of Latin dancing and music for students.

La Alianza remains active throughout the year. To mark commencement, La Alianza hosts the Latino Graduation Ceremony to celebrate the accomplishments of students who identify as Latina/o, Latinx or Hispanic.
