Spanish Club Celebrates National Volunteer Honorees, Cultural Excellence at Fiesta Latina

Illinois State University’s Spanish Club brought the campus and local community together in a celebration of culture, community, and civic leadership during its annual Fiesta Latina, a beloved tradition since 2016. This year’s event marked a historic moment for the club, as it presented the President’s Volunteer Service Award (PVSA) for the very first time—honoring exceptional student and faculty dedication to service at the national level. Thanks to Fiesta Latina--as well as an exciting cultural immersion trip to Cartagena, Colombia over spring break—Spanish Club was designated RSO of the Month in April, 2025.
