Association of Latin American Students

From the Missouri Western directory, Sep 7, 2026

The Association of Latin American Students (ALAS) recognizes the diversity within the Latino Community. We are diverse in our philosophies, politics, language, race, ethnicity, culture, and history. We recognized and respect the fact that out identities are based on our places of origin, personal experiences, and our interpretation of our histories and cultures. ALAS respects the right of individuals to define their own identity as Latinos/Latinas. ALAS recognizes the need on this campus for Latino student organizations that reflect our diverse interests and needs. ALAS encourages its members to participate in other student organizations and activities. ALAS will work with other student organizations on issues of mutual concern and interest.
