Comida Con Comunidad (Buenas Vibras)

Join us for a special edition of Buenas Vibes—Comida con Comunidad—where we’ll come together to support the UIS Food Pantry by packaging meals for our campus community. Just like our bi-weekly gatherings, this event centers connection, care, and culture, offering a relaxed and affirming space for students, staff, and faculty. While we give back, we’ll also reflect on the importance of community care and shared responsibility in Hispanic/Latinx/e cultures and beyond.
