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

- Engaging in dialogue around Latinx-community and culture, identity, and race at ÌÒñ«ÉçÇø 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 ÌÒñ«ÉçÇø
