History of the Hispanic Latino Alumni Association

In 1991, a group of very committed alumni organized the Hispanic Latino Alumni Committee to work with the Wisconsin Alumni Association is establishing a Hispanic Latino alumni organization that would be recognized by, and affiliated with, the university. In 1994, WAA's executive committee officially recognized the Hispanic Latino Alumni Association as an affiliated special interest group, which provided HLAA with the opportunity to appoint a representative to WAA's national board of directors.

Committees

  • The coordinating committee builds a strong relationship with WAA and coordinates the activities of the other committees.
  • The membership committee recruits active Hispanic Latino alumni to participate in HLAA.
  • The planning/event committee plans HLAA's annual summer event and annual Homecoming reunion.
  • The scholarship/fundraising committee chooses scholarship recipients and fundraising activities for HLAA's annual events.
