LASO
MISSION
Latin America Student Organization (LASO) is a student-run organization dedicated to increasing the understanding of Latin American politics, economics, and culture. LASO seeks to provide students with opportunities to interact with fellow students and reach out to the community. LASO's four program foci are community service, cultural enrichment, professional opportunities, and social activities for its members. Past activities include blanket drives in Mexico, the Preuss School Mentoring Program, public speaking, and cultural events in cooperation with the Institute of Americas, Center for U.S. Mexico Studies, and Center for Comparative Immigration Studies, happy hours, beach bonfires and the annual Latin American Festival. In addition, LASO serves as a liaison between the IR/PS administration, alumni, and businesses to ensure that Latin American interests are represented.
