What Does the "x" in Chicanx/Latinx Mean?

The purpose of using "x" in "Chicanx/Latinx" is to allow for the Chicana, Chicano, Latina, Latino community to be gender expansive, meaning it includes all those who identify and don't identify within the gender spectrum.

Our Graphic Element

The CCLASS graphic symbolizes our commitment to the academic achievement of Chicanx and Latinx students. Through learning and knowledge, our students will attain the power and strength to make a positive difference in society as they embark on their lives beyond the university. Because we are dedicated to seeing our students holistically, the graphic also symbolizes our commitment to familia and the importance of being in a community.
