The Latina/Latino Studies Program and La Casa Cultural Latina collaborated with Latina/o alumni to establish a Latina/Latino Alumni Association. The association provides Latina and Latino alumni with a means for reconnecting with old acquaintances; opportunities to socialize and network with other alumni as well as current students; and a forum for Latina and Latino alumni to voice their opinions collectively and individually regarding issues affecting the Latino community at the University of Illinois, among other benefits. A listserv was created to inform alumni about the activities of the Latina/Latino Alumni Association, to announce future alumni events in Champaign-Urbana and Chicago, and to solicit input from alumni.
Messages should be sent to Latino-Alumni-List@listserv.uiuc.edu.
