More Latinx at Berklee

In addition to SOMOS Latinx initiatives, other departments across Berklee often promote events that celebrate and highlight the Latinx and Hispanic culture. To keep track of all these opportunities, we created the Latinx Community @ Berklee calendar that can be added to personal calendars by clicking on the link.
