Raices
Congratulations to Raices for being named SGA 2011-2012 Club of the Year!!
Mission
The goal of Raices is primarily to act as a resource for the students of Latino backgrounds and secondarily to act as an agent to increase campus awareness on issues related to Latino culture, history, philosophy, people, and other facets. Events sponsored and/or organized by Raices primarily concern, but are not limited to, aspects of latino culture for their essence or their relation to other topics in which Raices chooses to pursue.
Raices meets every other Thursday (starting 9/13) at 8pm in the ICC.
