Mission Statement

Student Organization of Latinos (SOL) was created with the primary purpose of fostering unity among the Latino/Latin American organizations at Columbia University by opening a space for dialogue, facilitating inter and intra-group communication with member organizations of SOL, and establishing a sense of community around shared heritage.

SOL seeks to educate the Columbia community about the strength, ideas, unity and plurality present in the Latino/Latin American community. This is to be accomplished through diverse programming, events and activities that demonstrate the professional, political, social, and cultural presence of Latinos/Latin Americans at Columbia University, New York City and the world.

Finally, SOL serves as a safe and informal haven, providing a strong foundation for Columbia's Latino/Latin American students to grow as individuals and members of the community. SOL is not affiliated with any school of thought, rather, it is the unifying force amongst a multitude of backgrounds and ideas.
