BROWN PRIDE IS BACK

On October 14th, 2025...

Brown Pride established a purpose on Michigan State University's campus for Chicano/Latino students to succeed.The purpose provided Chicano/Latinos the opportunity to be recognized through social, service, educational, financial, and administrative organizations and offices. Chicano/Latinos receive the opportunity to network across a widespread community at Brown Pride to understand the importance of other Chicano/Latinos willingly to assist and provide them with the ability to one day be graduates of Michigan State University.

2025 Brown Pride Press Release:

The 17th Annual Brown Pride is a Chicanx/Latinx community Resource Fair organized by the Culturas de las Razas Unidas (CRU) that targets the entire MSU campus community.  Brown Pride is scheduled for Wednesday, October 14th, 2025 at the Kellogg Auditorium.

Purpose:

• BROWN PRIDE SERVES AS A CELEBRATION OF THE RICH CULTURAL MOSAIC THAT MAKES UP THE LATINO AMERICAN EXPERIENCE. THROUGH SPOKEN WORD, MUSIC, DANCE, AND ART, WE HONOR THE DEEP ROOTS, LIVED EXPERIENCES, AND POWERFUL CONTRIBUTIONS OF NUESTRA GENTE NOT ONLY ON MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY CAMPUS, BUT THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.

• LATINIDAD IS NOT A MONOLITH. WE COME FROM VARYING BACKGROUNDS, AND CARRY DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES. BROWN PRIDE EXISTS TO UPLIFT THAT TRUTH AND TO CARVE OUT A SPACE WHERE OUR DIFFERENCES ARE NOT JUST ACKNOWLEDGED, BUT CELEBRATED.

• CRU IS HONORED TO BRING BACK BROWN PRIDE THIS YEAR WITH RENEWED ENERGY AND PURPOSE. IN A TIME WHEN OUR COMMUNITIES CONTINUE TO FACE ERASURE, HATRED, AND MISREPRESENTATION, BROWN PRIDE SERVES AS A BOLD REMINDER. WE ARE STILL HERE, AND WE ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE.

• LA LUCHA SIGUE.

 Along with the purposes that Brown Pride serves, a recognizable importance of Brown Pride is based on having the Latino/a and MSU community unite to celebrate more than just our heritage, but also to celebrate our success as college students and striving to improve our community by helping and lifting MSU students towards cultural unity and graduation.
