The University of Iowa Latino and Native American Alumni Alliance (LaNA³), in collaboration with the Latino Native American Cultural Center (LNACC) and the Division of Student Life, is thrilled to announce a momentous event: "Celebrating 50+ Years of the LNACC."

This event will bring together University of Iowa Latino and Native American alumni to share our stories and look to the future. While the event focuses on alumni, it will also draw current UI students, faculty, staff, and community members through speaker presentations, panels, social events, art and music presentations, and workshops.

Iowa Writers´ Workshop alumni Joy Harjo (78MFA), Sandra Cisneros (78MFA), and Juan Felipe Herrera (90MFA) will join us as special guest speakers, and Brenda Child (83MA, 93PhD) will serve as moderator. Registration is $75 and includes breakfast on Saturday and Sunday, appetizers on Saturday evening, speaker events, tours/exhibits, a T-shirt, and various swag items. Guest registration (partners, children ages 13+) is $25/guest and does not include a T-shirt.

Our theme - "Sharing Our Stories, Looking to the Future" - encompasses our event goals:

  • Supporting the continued success of the LNACC and Latino and Native American students.
  • Ensuring our history is preserved through the LNACC Archives at the UI Main Library.
