HLSA
Posted by: copyeditor in 1-Ready for Editing, 2-Ready for Final Edit, 3-Ready for PublicationHLSA welcomes you back to school and for the new 1Ls; we support the wonderful journey you have begun here with us at Valparaiso University School of Law. We are excited to bring you a year full of opportunities to give back to the community and embrace diversity.
The mission of the Hispanic Law Students Association (HLSA) is to foster a community built on diversity both on and off the Valparaiso Law School campus. In this endeavor the organization strives to build awareness, break down borders and bring together the diverse community in Valparaiso, Indiana. HLSA does this by bringing attention to academic success and achievement by Latinos in this arena.
One of the main focuses of HLSA to recognize the Hispanic Culture in our society and the importance that it holds for the people. This awareness allows the Hispanic community to embrace and reflect on the history of Latinos. In doing so, HLSA brings both educational and social events to the campus and community for everyone to enjoy and be a part of. A listing of the upcoming events is listed below. Feel free to contact Priscilla Puente Chacon at priscilla.puente-chacon@valpo.edu with any questiosn or interest in the organization.
