Duke Mi Gente

Mi Gente was founded in 1992 as the central Latinx organization at Duke University. Mi Gentes mission is to provide a sense of community among Latinxs at Duke as well as to promote awareness and sponsor activities about Latinx cultural, political, educational, and social issues. It is a forum for individuals to explore the diverse histories, identities, and traditions that make up the Latinx world. We strive to serve as a voice and to raise awareness on campus for Latinx and other multicultural concerns. One of Mi Gentes priorities is to reach out to first-year students and provide them with a home and a familia as they make their way through Duke. Mi Gente also strives to develop relations with the Durham Latinx population through activities such as community service and outreach programs
