⭐️Calling all performers! ⭐️

The Hispanic American Leadership Organization and the Ambassadors for Diversity and Inclusion (.adi) are holding auditions for an upcoming Latin Heritage celebration, and we want to see your talent on stage!

All performances must tie into Hispanic/Latin roots—whether it features music by a Latin artist, Hispanic dance moves, or something else that celebrates our vibrant culture.

To be considered, make sure to fill out the audition form, which you can find in our bio or by scanning the QR code on the flyer. Don’t miss out on this chance to shine!

For any questions, reach out to us at [email protected]. We can’t wait to see what you bring to the stage! 💃🎶

Let’s embrace diversity and celebrate love 🫶 Happy Pride HALO familia!

The 2024 Latine Graduation Student Celebration acknowledged the influence of Latine students and staff at Wichita State. We were able to recognize these individuals and reward them before they walked across the stage on Saturday!

Congratulations to our HALO graduates as they have accomplished yet another milestone! Your HALO familia wishes the best in your future endeavors and we cannot wait to see what you’ll do for future generations 🫶🏽🎓

Thank you for being so active in HALO! 🫶
