We, the members of the Association of Latin American Students (ALAS) are dedicated to addressing issues of concern to Latino students at Illinois State University.
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 recognize and respect the fact that our personal identities are based on our places of origin, personal experiences, and our personal 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.
