La Casa, La Comunidad

3D Matterport Walkthrough

In the fall of 2023, La Casa celebrated its 50th anniversary. This milestone is due to the many students, faculty, staff, and alumni who have contributed to building a strong community. In commemoration of this anniversary, we welcomed back all those who have walked through its doors and supported its advocacy, programs, and services — those who have been a part of La Casa’s life and success! La Casa alumni brought back memories that we share with the the whole comunidad here.
