Latin American Student Engagement

Subscribe to our newsletter and join our Facebook group to continue to receive news of upcoming events, job opportunities and more.

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.
