New Latinx students at the University of Wisconsin–Madison came to the Red Gym on Wednesday, Sept. 14 for an evening of games and activities centered on Latinx culture. The Latinx Cultural Center hosted the event, which gives new Latinx Badgers the opportunity to engage with each other over a shared meal, pick up some swag and connect to support resources.
