El Centro provides a caring, inclusive space that fosters a sense of belonging for members of Elmhurst’s Latinx and Hispanic community, as well as its underserved and first-generation students.
We are a multiservice destination located in Niebuhr Hall where students can come together to collaborate with staff and campus partners, engage in culturally relevant programming and build connections with each other. El Centro’s goal is to ensure all students can gain the support and skills they need to succeed during their time at Elmhurst and into the future.
