The Latino Cultural Society, an official student organization of the University of West Georgia, embraces the diversity of the Latin American culture including the people, music, dances, and places. Our mission is to share the Latin culture and to promote awareness at the University of West Georgia, as well as the Carrollton community, about the diverse Latino Culture, and we need your help!
Our organization plans many social events. These events range from Latin dance parties, where we give free dance lessons and share our diverse Latin cuisine, to fun days, where we get together to enjoy an exciting afternoon of sports and games. We plan all of our social events with one goal in mind: to help the students and community learn more about the diversity of the Latino Culture, as well as its customs.
Aside from planning fun activities with games and dances, we also enjoy giving back to the community. We currently work closely with the Latinos Unidos Organization in Carrollton as well as other organizations on campus, such as the Student Activities Council and the International Student Club. We work together to organize fun and exciting social events, but most importantly, educational events.
