OVERVIEW
Latin American Programs, formerly known as Chicano Programs, supports students and community members from all ethnic and racial backgrounds. Historically, our program has focused on supporting Latinx/Hispanic/Chicanx students from diverse backgrounds in navigating and succeeding in the university. Our commitment to educating and building community is reflected in our inclusive and intersectional events, resources, and opportunities. This program uplifts, acknowledges, and celebrates Latinx, Chicanx, and Hispanic traditions, histories, culture, and identities at NMSU, a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI). We welcome students from all backgrounds to learn with and from us!
MISSION STATEMENT
Latin American Programs at NMSU is a student-serving unit that promotes all student success through education, outreach, and the development of cultural literacy. It is our goal to engage in activities that allow us to:
- Address campus climate in ways that align with the Hispanic and Minority Serving designations of our University and beyond
- Commit to programming that fosters a sense of belonging for our students
- Center the lived experiences of our students as a foundation for university culture, policy, and practice
- Outreach to NMSU and community partnerships to meet the needs of our students
- Promote a culture of learning and unlearning that allows all NMSU community members to engage in accountability and equity work through educational opportunities, research, and policy.
