This year’s 隆Con茅ctate! gathering was hosted by Treasure Valley Community College and held at the Four Rivers Cultural Center in Ontario, on April 30, 2026.

Since its beginning in 2017, 隆Con茅ctate! has brought together Latino-serving organizations, partners, and community members from across Eastern Oregon for a one-day gathering focused on connection and collaboration. 隆Con茅ctate! creates opportunities to build strong relationships with local leaders, volunteers, students, and community members, and provides space for open conversations about shared challenges, successes, and community experiences.

Now in its 9th year, 隆Con茅ctate! is hosted by one of 91传媒鈥檚 valued partners, Treasure Valley Community College, and will take place at the Four Rivers Cultural Center in Ontario, Oregon. This year鈥檚 gathering brings together faculty, staff, students, and community partners from across the region to engage with keynote speakers and interactive workshops focused on healing, storytelling, and community connection. Participants will also share practical approaches that support student persistence, leadership development, and long-term success.

Building on the foundation of previous 隆Con茅ctate! gatherings, this year鈥檚 event continues to highlight personal experiences, cultural traditions, and community knowledge as important sources of learning and growth. In alignment with this year鈥檚 theme, we are honored to present workshop sessions that recognize the importance of healing and share practical approaches that support connection, reflection, and collective growth across rural and regional communities.

This year鈥檚 gathering offers opportunities to connect with local leaders, students, educators, and community members from across Eastern Oregon. We invite students, faculty, staff, community members, and partners from Eastern Oregon and beyond to join us for a day of connection, learning, and shared conversation. This event is free and open to the public. Please click the button below to register!
