la voz latina

League of Latinos is a Latino based association. Our main objectives is to embrace the diverse

Latino culture, address the lack of Latinos in higher education, and establish a positive family-

like community for the Latinos attending Henderson State University. We will be addressing

issues that effect the Latino students on campus and begin a community outreach program that

will provide the necessary tools and encouragement for Latino high school students around the

state to pursue college degrees.
