What’s Happening for Latin American Studies Minors
The Latin American Studies minor program
traditionally sponsors cultural events and lectures in the fall and spring
semesters.
LaSO aims to provide programming on IUP’s campus
that will create awareness about Latino culture, people, history, and current
issues. The group is not strictly for those of Latino heritage. Anyone
interested in learning more about Latinos and helping to promote educational
and recreational programs about and with Latinos is welcome to join the
organization.
Day of the Dead is a holiday indigenous to Mexico with
pre-Hispanic origins. Students can participate in a Day of the Dead festival at IUP.
