In 1995, a group of conscientious Latino students realized that they should take decisive action. Latinos at the University of Pennsylvania were and are grossly underrepresented at all levels: students, faculty, and administrators. To develop a unified voice and a comprehensive strategy to deal with under-representation, we formed a coalition of five Latino student organizations. We, the Latino Coalition, now consist of 24 groups. These organizations have missions that range from cultural, professional, honor, arts, and social.
