Welcome back!

This week I am focusing in on Chicano/Hispano Student Affairs that I know a lot of people have become involved in here at the University of Arizona. Chicano/Hispano Student Affairs offers programs that encourage academic success and personal achievement while taking up and living out the cultural individuality and distinctiveness of Hispano and Chicano students.

Some student organizations that are apart of Chicano/Hispano are Gamma Alpha Omega Hispanic Sorority, Hispanic Business Student Association, Kappa Delta Chi Hispanic Sorority, and Lambda Theta Phi.

Assistant Director of Chicano/Hispano Student Affairs Janet Rico Uhrig stated that the Chicano/Hispano Student Affairs is "actively involved in the University community in order to incorporate multicultural perspectives across disciplines, programs, and our students' academic careers."


The organization offers many resources to aid students in their development, such as tutoring and scholarships.

The following are upcoming events for September:

• Academic Success- What does it look like?
• Hispanic Heritage Month Kick-off
• Tailgate/Welcome- back Picnic
