Dear DU community members,
I am pleased to announce that, after seven years of partnering with the University of Denver, the Latino Leadership Institute (LLI) will become an independent 501(c)3 nonprofit organization effective July 1, 2021. This transition will better allow the LLI to respond to the increasing national demand for Latino leadership.
While LLI’s operations, research and programming will be independent from the university, DU and the LLI are committed to an ongoing partnership that will enable them to continue working together, including: collaborating around people and leadership development for the Latino and BIPOC communities; engaging with DU faculty around diversity, equity and inclusion endeavors; and exploring partnership opportunities around Latino and BIPOC entrepreneurship and economics.
