Through the Center for Latin American Studies' interactions with the various clubs on campus, we've seen the need to create a space where student groups can discuss common issues, collaborate on finding solutions, and achieve mutual goals. The purpose of the Student Club Coalition is to give clubs related to Latin America, the Caribbean, and the diasporas, an opportunity to be officially related to and involved with CLAS, providing mutual support for student engagement. The Student Club Coalition is designed to help students develop a voice for what's important to them, to assist them in that endeavor, and to help them acquire funding for those projects and goals. The member clubs work together to support each other and their goals, and to build friendships and community along the way.
