Latinx Center

The Latinx Center is a residential space for students invested in the histories, legacies, traditions, and challenges of the Latin American community. The Center is intentionally created for the community where students can share their experiences, find academic, social, and emotional support, and work with other Latinx students and the Haverford Community at large.

The space is more than just a residential place for Latinx Students—it's an inclusive gathering place with study rooms, lounge spaces, and meeting rooms where the Alliance of Latin American Students (ALAS) and the greater Latinx community can feel at home. The six residents work collaboratively with ALAS as well as with the Office of Multicultural Affairs (OMA) to articulate and sustain programming that supports and meets the needs of the Latin American community.
