Somos Comunidad/We Are Community

Student Life

Latina/o undergraduate or graduate students can rely on the LSP Student Success Office (LSSO), housed in the Latina/o Studies Program (LSP), for academic as well as personal assistance. The LSSO Advisor helps all 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.
