New student organization embraces Latino and Hispanic cultures

November 17, 2005

Miami University Hamilton Senate recently approved the formation of a new student organization, the Association of Latin and American Students (ALAS).

The purpose of the ALAS is to create awareness of the Latina/o and Hispanic cultures including not only people with Latina/o and Hispanic origins as members.

In addition, founding members of the organization will promote cross-cultural awareness by engaging with students, faculty, and staff by hosting cultural activities and by serving and engaging with the community as well.
