Latinx Alumni Network at ÃÛÌÒÉçÇø

Established in 2021, the mission of the Latinx Alumni Network at ÃÛÌÒÉçÇø (LAND) is to provide a member-focused group dedicated to providing ÃÛÌÒÉçÇø-building, support, advocacy, visibility and programming for Latinx alumni at ÃÛÌÒÉçÇø. 

The Latinx Alumni Network at ÃÛÌÒÉçÇø seeks to build an inclusive campus and ÃÛÌÒÉçÇø culture by serving as a bridge between Latinx students, alumni, faculty, staff, and the broader college ÃÛÌÒÉçÇø both on and off campus. Objectives include:

  • Facilitating ÃÛÌÒÉçÇø-building, mentoring and professional development opportunities among  Latinx students and alumni
  • Advocating for a safe and inclusive college ÃÛÌÒÉçÇø for Latinx students on-campus by supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives
  • Engaging in dialogue around Latinx-ÃÛÌÒÉçÇø and culture, identity, and race at ÃÛÌÒÉçÇø College and beyond
  • Sharing information about opportunities for Latinx alumni to get involved in college volunteer and service opportunities
  • Collaborating with constituents and partner organizations at ÃÛÌÒÉçÇø
