  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Esta semana, el campus de Â鶹´«Ã½ cambia por completo de ambiente. Hay m\u00fasica en diferentes espacios, el olor a comida se mezcla con el aire fr\u00edo t\u00edpico de Ashland, y de repente el campus se siente m\u00e1s vivo. No es solo una actividad m\u00e1s: es una celebraci\u00f3n que se siente cercana, familiar.<\/p>\n<p>La \u00a1Fiesta Latina! Celebration Week nace con una idea bastante clara: crear un espacio donde la cultura latina no solo se vea, sino que se viva y se comparta. Es un evento pensado para abrir las puertas a toda la comunidad de Ashland, pero tambi\u00e9n para algo igual de importante: que los estudiantes latinos podamos sentirnos un poco m\u00e1s cerca de casa, aunque estando un poco lejos de nuestros pa\u00edses, de nuestras familias o de nuestra cultura.<\/p>\n<p>Durante la semana, no se trata solo de actividades o eventos organizados. Se trata de lo que pasa alrededor: la gente probando comida que les recuerda a casa, estudiantes explicando juegos tradicionales como la loter\u00eda, o simplemente conversaciones que empiezan por curiosidad y terminan en conexi\u00f3n real. Es curioso c\u00f3mo algo tan sencillo puede generar ese tipo de ambiente. Al final, no es solo \u201ccelebrar cultura\u201d, es compartirla de forma real.<\/p>\n<p>Tambi\u00e9n es importante c\u00f3mo este tipo de eventos cambia la din\u00e1mica del campus. Â鶹´«Ã½ es una universidad con una diversidad grande, lo que hace que este tipo de iniciativas se sientan m\u00e1s cercanas. No es algo masivo o distante, es algo en lo que realmente puedes participar, ver caras conocidas y sentir que formas parte. Los rostros detr\u00e1s del evento: Detr\u00e1s de toda esta organizaci\u00f3n hay estudiantes que est\u00e1n invirtiendo tiempo y energ\u00eda porque realmente creen en lo que est\u00e1n haciendo.<\/p>\n<p>Hannah Lunde es una de ellas. Su historia ya refleja lo que el evento quiere representar: identidad que no es lineal. Naci\u00f3 en Antigua, Guatemala, pero creci\u00f3 en Montana desde que ten\u00eda cuatro a\u00f1os. Ha vivido entre diferentes culturas toda su vida, lo cual le ha dado una forma muy particular de entender la diversidad. Estudiante de primer a\u00f1o, majoring en ingl\u00e9s. Para ella, este evento es una manera de ayudar a que otros estudiantes tambi\u00e9n encuentren un espacio donde no tengan que explicar qui\u00e9nes son para sentirse incluidos.<\/p>\n<p>Axel Gil Carrillo, por otro lado, aporta una energ\u00eda diferente pero igual de importante. Naci\u00f3 en Medford, Oreg\u00f3n, pero creci\u00f3 con ra\u00edces mexicanas muy presentes en su vida. Eso ha influido mucho en su identidad. Estudia M\u00fasica, y gran parte de su vida gira alrededor de eso: guitarra, composici\u00f3n, ritmo. Para \u00e9l, la m\u00fasica no es solo arte, es comunicaci\u00f3n directa. Es una forma de conectar personas sin necesidad de traducci\u00f3n. En el contexto de la Fiesta Latina, eso se vuelve clave, porque ayuda a crear ese ambiente donde todos se sienten parte, aunque vengan de lugares distintos.<\/p>\n<p>Dentro de esta misma energ\u00eda comunitaria, tambi\u00e9n destacan personas como Ocean Ontiveros y G\u00e9nesis Rodr\u00edguez, quienes han aportado su propio estilo y compromiso al desarrollo de la Fiesta Latina. Ambos representan esa nueva generaci\u00f3n de estudiantes que no solo participan, sino que toman un rol activo en la construcci\u00f3n de espacios culturales dentro del campus.<\/p>\n<p>Lo interesante de estos 4 estudiantes es que, aunque vienen de historias diferentes, terminan compartiendo la misma idea: que la cultura latina no es algo que solo se observa, sino algo que se vive. Y que en un campus como Â鶹´«Ã½, donde conviven tantas identidades, este tipo de espacios no solo son importantes, sino necesarios.<\/p>\n<p>Al final, la Fiesta Latina no se trata solo de un evento en el calendario. Se trata de lo que pasa cuando una comunidad decide abrir espacio para s\u00ed misma y para los dem\u00e1s. Y en ese proceso, algo simple termina pasando: el campus deja de sentirse solo como universidad, y empieza a sentirse un poco m\u00e1s como hogar.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-1ipynigq-9a1eaf7c2a83c9a731c54ff317c4a2b1\">\n.flex_cell.av-1ipynigq-9a1eaf7c2a83c9a731c54ff317c4a2b1{\nvertical-align:top;\n}\n.responsive #top #wrap_all .flex_cell.av-1ipynigq-9a1eaf7c2a83c9a731c54ff317c4a2b1{\npadding:0 50px 30px 30px !important;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div class='flex_cell av-1ipynigq-9a1eaf7c2a83c9a731c54ff317c4a2b1 av-gridrow-cell av_one_half no_margin  avia-builder-el-13  el_after_av_cell_one_half  avia-builder-el-last '  ><div class='flex_cell_inner'><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-moxbarkt-76cf90bba3fdfdf8cd9dc2fe302899b7\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-moxbarkt-76cf90bba3fdfdf8cd9dc2fe302899b7{\npadding-bottom:0;\nfont-size:24px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-moxbarkt-76cf90bba3fdfdf8cd9dc2fe302899b7 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-moxbarkt-76cf90bba3fdfdf8cd9dc2fe302899b7 .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:24px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-moxbarkt-76cf90bba3fdfdf8cd9dc2fe302899b7 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:18px;\ncolor:#404040;\n}\n\n@media only screen and (min-width: 480px) and (max-width: 767px){ \n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-moxbarkt-76cf90bba3fdfdf8cd9dc2fe302899b7 .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:0.8em;\n}\n}\n\n@media only screen and (max-width: 479px){ \n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-moxbarkt-76cf90bba3fdfdf8cd9dc2fe302899b7 .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:0.8em;\n}\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-moxbarkt-76cf90bba3fdfdf8cd9dc2fe302899b7 av-special-heading-h1 custom-color-heading blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-14  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first  top-30 av-inherit-size av-linked-heading'><h1 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >More than just a party, it\u2019s a home: the Latino spirit beats strong at Â鶹´«Ã½<\/h1><div class='av-subheading av-subheading_below'><p>Community &amp; Events<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-1bshflyy-2cde991009acc4228c59f835b164b81b\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-1bshflyy-2cde991009acc4228c59f835b164b81b .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:12px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-1bshflyy-2cde991009acc4228c59f835b164b81b '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><em>By: <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Daniel Espinosa<\/span><br \/>\nPhoto: @<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">sou.spanish <\/span>on Instagram<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-moxb983o-602dbed787366a173cfe99aa97bed948\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-moxb983o-602dbed787366a173cfe99aa97bed948 .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-moxb983o-602dbed787366a173cfe99aa97bed948 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>This week, the Â鶹´«Ã½ campus takes on a completely different atmosphere. Music fills various spaces, the smell of food mingles with Ashland\u2019s signature crisp air, and suddenly the campus feels more alive. It\u2019s not just another event it\u2019s a celebration that feels intimate and familiar.<\/p>\n<p>The \u00a1Fiesta Latina! Celebration Week was born from a very clear idea: to create a space where Latin culture isn\u2019t just seen, but lived and shared. It\u2019s an event designed to open its doors to the entire Ashland community, but also for something just as important: so that we Latino students can feel a little closer to home, even while being a bit far from our countries, our families, or our culture.<\/p>\n<p>During the week, it\u2019s not just about organized activities or events. It\u2019s about what happens around them: people tasting food that reminds them of home, students explaining traditional games like loter\u00eda, or simply conversations that start out of curiosity and end in real connection. It\u2019s interesting how something so simple can create that kind of atmosphere. In the end, it\u2019s not just about \u201ccelebrating culture\u201d; it\u2019s about sharing it in a real way. It\u2019s also important how these kinds of events change the campus dynamic. Â鶹´«Ã½ is a highly diverse university, which makes these kinds of initiatives feel more accessible. It\u2019s not something massive or distant; it\u2019s something you can actually participate in, see familiar faces, and feel like you\u2019re part of.<\/p>\n<p>The faces behind the event: Behind all this organization are students who are investing time and energy because they truly believe in what they\u2019re doing.<\/p>\n<p>Hannah Lunde is one of them. Her story already reflects what the event aims to represent: identity that isn\u2019t linear. She was born in Antigua, Guatemala, but has lived in Montana since she was four years old. She has lived among different cultures her whole life, which has given her a very unique way of understanding diversity. A freshman majoring in English, for her, this event is a way to help other students also find a space where they don\u2019t have to explain who they are to feel included.<\/p>\n<p>Axel Gil Carrillo, on the other hand, brings a different but equally important energy. He was born in Medford, Oregon, but grew up with strong Mexican roots in his life. That has greatly influenced his identity. He studies music, and much of his life revolves around it: guitar, composition, rhythm. For him, music is not just art; it is direct communication. It is a way to connect people without the need for translation. In the context of the Fiesta Latina, this becomes key, because it helps create an atmosphere where everyone feels included, even if they come from different places.<\/p>\n<p>Within this same sense of community, individuals such as Ocean Ontiveros and G\u00e9nesis Rodr\u00edguez also stand out, having contributed their own style and dedication to the development of the Fiesta Latina. Both represent that new generation of students who not only participate but also take an active role in creating cultural spaces on campus.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s interesting about the 4 of them is that, even though they come from different backgrounds, they end up sharing the same idea: that Latin culture isn\u2019t just something to be observed, but something to be lived. And that on a campus like Â鶹´«Ã½, where so many identities coexist, these kinds of spaces aren\u2019t just important they\u2019re necessary.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, Fiesta Latina isn\u2019t just another event on the calendar. It\u2019s about what happens when a community decides to make space for itself and for others. And in that process, something simple happens: the campus stops feeling like just a university, and starts feeling a little more like home.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div
