Among Latin American and Latinx students, there is a concerning trend of attrition at the secondary and post-secondary levels. For me, this trend is personally\u2014and particularly\u2014alarming, as I\u2019m both a member of the Latin American diaspora and a UofT student.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why my work with the Innovation Hub this year is so serendipitous: we\u2019re partnering with the Department of Spanish & Portuguese Studies to examine the university experiences of Latinx students, and as the Senior Project Assistant, I\u2019m auditing LAS401\u2014Latinos in Canada: Toronto. In this course, students are learning and applying design thinking techniques to the topic of Latinidad and the University. By learning more about the on-campus experiences of students of Latin-American descent, we hope to <\/span><\/span>explore new possibilities for building community among Latino students and encouraging on-campus <\/span><\/span>engagement.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve already learned and shared so much with my classmates in LAS401, and I can\u2019t wait to converse with other students. If you\u2019re a <\/b>UofT<\/b> student from the Latinx community (on any campus), we\u2019d love to speak with you!<\/b> LAS401 students are hosting brief, one-on-one interviews about the Latinx experience on campus.<\/p>\n
