ˇBienvenidos!
Alianza
Latina is a dynamic group, comprised of students dedicated to
strengthening the Latino/a and Hispanic community and representing the
complexity of those same heritages at the University of
Vermont. We invite you to learn more about our organization
and
welcome you to contribute with your own perspectives, experiences and
voice.
Mission Statement
Alianza
Latina was created with the purpose of fostering solidarity among the
Latino/a and Hispanic students at the University of Vermont by creating
a space for dialogue, identity development, and establishing a sense of
community around shared heritage.
Alianza Latina seeks to
educate the UVM community about the strength, ideas, unity and
plurality present in the Latino/a and Hispanic community. This is to be
accomplished through diverse programming, events and activities that
demonstrate the professional, political, social, and cultural presence
of Latino/as and Hispanics at UVM, and the greater Burlington
area.
Finally,
Alianza Latina serves as a safe and informal space, providing a strong
foundation for UVM’s Latino/a and Hispanic students to grow as
individuals and members of the UVM community.
*You do not need to be Latino/a or Hispanic or
speak Spanish to join Alianza Latina! All you need is an interest in
the Latino/a and Hispanic
culture. That, and an appreciation for our food. :-)
