Events | Past Events | Membership | Documents  In Spanish, Cepas means roots, origin or stock. Our Cepas program touches on the origins of Latin American life. C is for culture, E for economy, P for politics, A for art, and S for sciences. Through these five areas, we offer our culturally-rich community the best of border life.
Through Cepas, the Institute:
• Promotes networking
• Provides access to information about Latin America
• Encourages business ties and better relations in the
San Diego region
• Serves as a forum where the binational community can appreciate and enjoy Latin American culture
With few exceptions, Cepas events are free. The program is supported by individual and corporate members as well as sponsors. View details/join
