Organization of Latin American Students

The Organization of Latin American Students (O.L.A.S) strives to bring cultural, educational, social, and political awareness about Latin America.  We recognize and acknowledge the diversity within our Latino community and work to build and integrate a space where we can all come together cohesively and expand perspectives, increase access to resources, and enrich students’ academic, professional, and social experience. We hope to serve as a resource in the development of the next generation of Latino and Latina leaders. We do this by hosting social and cultural events, having discussions during the meetings about topics that the members vote on, attending conferences and group outings. Despite the name, O.L.A.S is not restricted to Latinos. Everyone is welcome to participate in O.L.A.S events, meetings, and activities.
