English Version - August 2013TRANSCRIPT
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.
