Latinx Student Center

Our Mission

The mission of the Latinx Student Center is to authentically establish visibility for Latinx-identifying students. The vision is for students to have autonomy when they come into the center, where they step into their comfort zones and develop a sense of agency needed to navigate higher education. Autonomy, authenticity and humor is the energy one feels at the center. The goal is for that energy to be translated to other parts of campus.Students need to be affirmed.

Be it first-year students, transfer students or re-entry students, students need to be seen as people. Navigating higher education is confusing for all, especially those that identify as first-generation and/or first in their family to attend college. Thus, the Latinx Student Center is important to create a confidence and reaffirm identities.

The scholarship provides financial assistance to students who have a commitment to social justice, aspirations for a career in law, and a desire to support their community like Jasmyn Victoria.
