Felicidades Class of 2025!

For decades, the El Centro has been hosting the annual Chicane Latine Year-End Ceremony (CLYEC). This year's CLYEC will be hosted in person on Monday, June 16, 2025 at 1:00pm on the East Upper Field. 2025 will mark the 53rd anniversary of our Chicane Latiné Year End Ceremony–a bilingual celebration for all graduating students, undergraduate and graduate, and their families. During the bilingual ceremony, there are danzantes, live musical performances, and powerful keynote speakers. 

CLYEC is a community celebration organized by El Centro and not a degree conferring event. Students may sign up for their College Commencement and El Centro's Chicane Latiné Year-End Ceremony. 

For questions or concerns, please email El Centros' Director, Xiomara Lopez (xielopez@ucsc.edu).
