Not too much, just having an awesome time with our amazing LGSA friends, whether it is dancing the night away to Salsa, Bachata and Cumbia under the stars, collaborating with DREAMzone, or mentoring our fellow Latino/a youth to serve the community! We have a lot going on this semester but there is so much more to look forward to, so stay posted! Here are some pictures from the past events that we have held so far during the months of January and February:
Many thanks to los tocayos (Jesus C. and Jesus G.) for planning this super fun event! Wednesday nights are now officially our go to place for free Latin dancing lessons and dancing at Dave and Buster's in the Tempe Marketplace! We will send out emails the next time we are planning to go! :D
LGSA is also proud to announce that we have hosted our very first DREAMzone training. For those of you who are not aware, DREAMzone training is a 4-hour ally certification training designed for students, faculty, staff, administrators and community members in order to establish a visible support for undocumented students at ASU. We were very happy to partake in this training, as we are in support for undocumented students to succeed in every way!
Finally, many thanks to our amazing ladies at LGSA to offer mentorship and advice to our fellow Latino/a students, both within the community and students at ASU. LGSA collaborated with both the Hispanic Mother Daughter Program at ASU and with the Hispanic Congressional Caucus Institute to come and speak with students about what college and graduate school life is like.
It is events like these that we hope we can make a difference to at least one student.
