The Latina/o Student Assembly is a non-profit umbrella group for Chicana/o, Hispanic, Latina/o student organizations at USC and has been in existence for approximately 25 years. LSA is composed of an executive board of 11 elected officers, one appointed officer and one representative from each member organization. LSA receives funds from the Undergraduate Student Government and is overseen by Program Board. LSA allocates funds to organizational members as well as other USC student organizations.
Ran by a student e-board, LSA seeks to bring together students of Latino heritage, educate the USC student body and make positive contributions to the surrounding community. For the past 25 years, LSA has been a source of support and a voice for the Latino student population on campus.
The members of LSA are proud of what has been accomplished for the Latino community and look forward to future events. Join LSA or any one of its member organizations and make sure to mark your calendars for all upcoming events.
