The Latin Alumni Network is an inclusive community of volunteers. We provide alumni, students, faculty, and staff who identify as Latin/Hispanic with opportunities to engage, network, and mentor. We work with the University to develop community-driven programming grounded in the richness of the Latin/Hispanic culture and identity.
