Raíces

  

Mission Statement
"" An organization for students who are interested in Latino/Latina culture and heritage. Raíces strives to promote the identity and unity of Hampshire College's Latino/Latina students through intellectual, cultural, academic, and social growth and to increase their visibility and involvement in campus and community activities.

We are currently working on trying to build community with both the Latinos on campus and the SOURCE community in general. We are also committed with expanding our connections with the Latino community around the 5-College area.
