Latin American Student Organization (LASO)

About Us

“Preservation of one's own culture does not require contempt or disrespect for other cultures… We need to help students and parents cherish and preserve the ethnic and cultural diversity that nourishes and strengthens this community – and this nation.”
- Cesar Chavez

The Latin American Student Organization (LASO) Club is open to all students interested in Latino culture, regardless of ethnic or racial background.

The main goals of LASO are:

• Promoting awareness and appreciation of Latino culture, heritage, and contributions among students, faculty, and the community.
• Creating a safe space to support Latino students on campus who may be encountering struggles, whether they are academic or personal.
• Providing educational opportunities related to Latino culture, including special conferences, workshops, discussions, and cultural events.

We plan to meet on the first Tuesday of every month at 11:30am in AC2-276
