Latinx Alumni Network at 91ÇÑ×Ó
Established in 2021, the mission of the Latinx Alumni Network at 91ÇÑ×Ó (LAND) is to provide a member-focused group dedicated to providing community-building, support, advocacy, visibility and programming for Latinx alumni at 91ÇÑ×Ó.

- Facilitating community-building, mentoring and professional development opportunities among Latinx students and alumni
- Advocating for a safe and inclusive college community for Latinx students on-campus by supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives
- Engaging in dialogue around Latinx-community and culture, identity, and race at 91ÇÑ×Ó and beyond
- Sharing information about opportunities for Latinx alumni to get involved in college volunteer and service opportunities
- Collaborating with constituents and partner organizations at 91ÇÑ×Ó
