An organization that seeks to generate a space for Latin American students to feel welcome at UCLA through social and cultural interaction. LASO, as the Spanish word suggests, is a bond that we hope is established among our members despite physical and cultural boundaries between our home countries. Our three pillars: - Home away from home To be an inviting resource for students looking for like-minded Latino individuals - Site for cultural interaction To familiarize ourselves with different Latin American cultures and customs - Establish life-long relationships To foster an environment that serves as the foundation of lasting friendships
