Our goals are about keeping the Latinx community involved.”Įrika Munguia and Alessandra Cáceres Torres, the co-presidents of Mi Pueblo, say the alliance serves as the backbone for what all Latinx organizations are working to achieve on campus. That diversity of ideas and thoughts comes together to make a better experience for what we want to do on campus. We all have different opinions and different experiences. “Our main goal is to be one big team rather than each individual organization. “We come together twice a month to discuss bigger goals for the Latinx community on campus,” Diaz said. The Latinx Leadership Alliance currently consists of Mi Pueblo, Por Colombia, The Bridge publication, the Lambda Pi Chi Sorority, the Omega Phi Beta Sorority, the Lambda Upsilon Lambda Fraternity, the National Association of Hispanic Journalist, the Latino Medical Student Association, the Association of Latino Professionals for America and Student United for Immigration Equality. The group, launched last year, brings together 10 Latinx-focused student organizations to tackle issues and challenges facing the organizations and the Latinx population.
As a student ambassador with the center, Diaz works with 25 other UNC-Chapel Hill students in the center’s Latinx Leadership Alliance to charter a strong path forward for future Latinx Tar Heels. The Carolina Latinx Center is the University’s hub for programming and support for Latinx students, faculty and staff. “That really inspired me to work more with them, and that’s why I applied for the student ambassador for campus collaboration position this year.” “I loved the environment I was in when I was in the Latinx Center,” Diaz said. When Ana Diaz arrived in Chapel Hill as a first-year student in the fall of 2020, she wasn’t quite sure how she’d find ways to get involved with Latinx students on campus to build her community at Carolina.Īnd then, she discovered the Carolina Latinx Center through friends she made in Mi Pueblo, a student organization that promotes awareness of Latinx culture and issues, and made the center her spot.
