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.

What does the Latina/o Studies Program mean to our students?

"What I like best about LSP is the staff; they make the space a second home for me. Their constant engagement with students and their commitment to fostering open community is felt throughout campus. They welcome anyone warmly, putting their best forward not only for the interns that work here, but also the students that visit."
