Latina/o undergraduate or graduate students can rely on the Latinx Student Success Office (LSSO), housed in the Latina/o Studies Program (LSP), for academic as well as personal assistance. The LSSO Advisor helps students navigate and make connections throughout the university community, as well as develop realistic expectations and successful new habits. Connections facilitate students' transition to the rigorous academic programs and help them achieve that delicate balance between academic success and a full, healthy life outside the classroom.
There are over 35 Latina/o student organizations at Cornell University, including sororities and fraternities, as well as those related to national identity, the disciplines, the professions, the arts and entertainment.
The Latinx Student Success Office (LSSO) is a joint effort of the Latina/o Studies Program (LSP) and the College of Arts & Sciences Admissions and Advising Office.
The Latina/o Studies Program (LSP) at Cornell was the first of these types of programs to be established at an Ivy League institution, and it has played a significant role in validating the field as a legitimate scholarly project.
