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.
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 LSP 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.
For the Spring 2026 semester, Latina/o Studies offers a range of courses at the undergraduate and graduate level with the opportunity to explore and learn about history, communities, literature, immigration, as well as cultural identity, migration, language, and more.
