Mission
and Purpose
LSU is an academic and
cultural group who's primary mission is to:
- Increase awareness of issues facing
Latinos
- Create a network of likeminded people
- Promote change through cultural
understanding and awareness
By promoting awareness
of Latino issues, building partnerships with academic departments and
student groups on campus, and promoting youth leadership through
outreach, LSU is an opportunity for students to get involved and get
connected. We look to encourage unity amongst Latinos and minority groups
as well a promote change to give diversity its rightful place on campus.
It is our hope to enhance the student experience at UW and promote change
through awareness and understanding.
History
LSU was formed in 2006
by three University of Washington
students who felt that there was a need for a Latino organization that
worked in conjunction with campus departments, faculty, and other
organizations to change the campus community and the surrounding
community through an academic medium. By working with staff, students and
the greater community alike, LSU was founded on the idea that change
could be achieved through knowledge and empowerment.
