Our Vision: To be the West Coast’s top Latinx-centric teacher-scholar institution that mentors a new generation of American leaders excelling in communication and storytelling, placing innovative research regarding Latinx communications in the public debate.

Our Mission: The Latino Communications Institute (LCI) focuses on building communications leaders of the future with a framework of Latino cultural competency through mentorship and research opportunities. Reflecting the College of Communications’ mission of preparing communicators to advance a democratic society, the program's goal is to lead efforts to ensure an equitable experience for Latina/o/x students and scholars so they can accomplish their academic and professional goals and positively contribute to their communities and society at large. Many LCI students are first-generation college students who find impactful mentorships, career pathways, and professional memberships through this learning community, as well as networking opportunities.

Our Background: Cal State Fullerton’s Latino Communications Institute (LCI) is a workforce-preparedness and civic engagement program that supports the development of U.S. Latino cultural competency through mentorships, research, and intentional industry-connected educational and engagement opportunities.
