Latin American Student Engagement

Latin American Student Engagement programming and support provides connections to academic, career, wellness and many other services to foster a sense of belonging and community.

Within each area of programming, there is a focus on connection (to each other and the broader U of T community), as well as navigating barriers to access and inclusion.

This program is for Latin American students with intersectional identities, including: Racialized, international, English as a second language, religious or spiritual, 2SLGBTQIA+, mature, Transitional Year Programme students (current & former) and other lived identities.
