Welcome to the Latin American Society. We are thrilled to welcome new members as well as returning members for the year 2026-2027. 

Who We Are:

The Latin American Society is a place to celebrate Latino culture and rejoice in it. We want to create a safe space for Latin American students at the university, to meet and find community while being away from home, as well as a welcoming place for students of all other cultural backgrounds to experience and learn about our own. 

    

 

What We Want To Do:

Some of the events we are planning for this year include Latino Nights at the SU Bar, socials in Top Bar and The Atrium, political discussions, events with other societies, and fundraising events for charities and organisations in LATAM. As a member, you will be up to date with the latest news about our Society and will be guaranteed free entry to ticketed fundraising events. You will also help the society to be able to keep bringing events to the community!
