Galloway, N.J. – One of Stockton’s largest cultural organizations on campus, Los Latinos Unidos (LLU), works to spread Latino history and culture on campus in addition to hosting
fun activities open to all.
Every meeting revolves around a Latino cultural topic or experience, and students
come together to have a discussion, enjoy a meal and participate in an interactive
activity.
The organization hosts several trips throughout the year, such as the annual trip
to Yankee Stadium during Hispanic Heritage Month. This semester, LLU will be trying
something new – the organization is in the planning process of hosting its inaugural
gala on March 21, similar to last semester’s event “Noche de Fiesta.”
Join the club on OspreyHub and follow their Instagram (@Stockton_LLU) for updates on upcoming meetings and events.
Los Latinos Unidos welcomes new attendees to their biweekly meetings (Mondays at 8
p.m. in G-137), and the organization emphasizes that members do not need to be Latino
in order to participate. Their only request is for students to join with an open mind
and willingness to learn.
For students interested in joining Los Latinos Unidos, expect to experience “laughs,
social engagement and friendship,” Secretary of LLU and Language and Cultural Studies major Sol Lopez said. “It’s kind of like a family after a little while. You get to
know each other more, step out of your comfort zone and speak your mind about certain
topics during the meetings.”
