Tufts Latin American Committee

The Latin American Committee (LAC) is a student-led organization that is dedicated to promoting discourse on cultural, social, political, historical and economic issues in Latin America through a variety of events and initiatives that foster interest and awareness about the region. It is a space open to students of all backgrounds, identities and ideologies to discuss and learn about the Latin American region; they want to spark conversation about the region by facilitating the learning process for students. LAC members engaged in weekly discussions on given topics, followed by meetings with guest experts. To further strengthen and broaden their network the LAC hosts a series of events throughout the year in collaboration with faculty members and other Latin American and Caribbean student groups around the Boston area.
