LHFI hosted its inaugural event Celebrating Latino Health and Culture! on April 9, 2008, at Hunter College's Brookdale Campus. Co-sponsored by the Immigration and Health Initiative (IAHI), this event featured a performance by the Hunter Argentine Tango Club, a book giveaway (Solving Latino Pyschosocial and Health Problems), a film screening (Salud!), as well as information on both LHFI and IAHI. The event was made possible by generous funding from the Auxiliary Enterprise Board and the CUNY Graduate Center Doctoral Students Council.
