HISPANIC GRADUATE ORGANIZATION

The Hispanic Graduate Organization
is the oldest Hispanic organization on campus. HGO was created
for you, Hispanic and Latin American graduate student, as
a means of promoting personal development, and to provide

for students and the University at large.
Our main goal is to provide social activities and gatherings

and Latin American students. Our activities range from movie-nights
to quarterly trips. We are also committed to providing students
with outreach opportunities both within the university community

ASOCIACION DE ESTUDIANTES MEXICANOS (AEM)
First of all I’d like to salute all members of
the Mexican Student Association. It’s great to know that new
members are being included in our roster enriching our community.
Regarding the involvement of Mexicans in OSU Hispanic activities,
I’d like to communicate you that we are part of a new committee
recently formed.
Based on the Hispanic Needs Assessment that was performed
almost one year ago, a committee comprised of a wide variety
of Latino members was formed to follow up with the results
of that survey.
Mexican as well as Latino voices are being raised through
this committee which will oversee the fulfillment of the important
issues reported by our student community. This survey was
a vehicle for us to express our concerns as well as our demands.
I’d like to encourage you to do so, since the process of voicing
our thoughts is continuous.
Feel free to contact me and express your concerns at garza-delgado.1@osu.edu.

ALPHA PSI LAMBDA
Thank you for this opportunity
to update you on what Alpha Psi Lambda has been contributing
to the campus and community. But first of all, let me tell
you who we are.
Alpha Psi Lambda is a co-ed Latino-interest fraternity that
was founded at OSU in 1985. We function as an organization,
but we are a family.
During Autumn Quarter, 3 new students pledged and joined our
familia, and we currently have a winter pledge line Project
and committing our efforts to its funding, as well as contributing
to the Hispanic Jubilee as a whole. We hope to support this
program as much as possible, and hope that you will join us
at the events also.
Our community service projects have included, but are not
limited to, cooking at the Ronald McDonald House, working
the WOSU telethon, attending Martin Luther King Day of Service,
and preparing for AIDS walk.
We have also been working at Nationwide Arena and distributing
Nuestro Ohio Newspaper in order to raise funds. If you would
like more information or would like to participate, please
contact me at staigers.3@osu.edu. I look forward to seeing
you!
