Since its establishment in 1969, El Centro de la Raza, a resource center of The University of New Mexico (UNM), has been a primary support hub for Hispanic, Latino, and identifying students for more than 50 years. Student feedback, consideration, and cooperation has made it into the social, accessible, and engaging student resource center it is. El Centro's goal? To offer students a place to find community, guidance, advocacy and representation. The role of El Centro de la Raza director, Rosa Isela Cervantes, is to keep UNM aware of what's happening regionally and nationally within the Hispanic and Latino community, many of whom are first-generation students, and come from various backgrounds of skin color, race, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status.
