Georgetown University Latin American Student Groups

Georgetown University has a vibrant Latin American community and the Latin America-related organizations active on campus reflect that.

Many of the particularities and complexities of the lively Latin American region are represented on the Georgetown campus including its politics, languages, cultures, dances, histories, advocacy, social justice, diplomacy, social issues, and more. Whether they are led by undergraduate students or graduate Hoyas, these groups draw students, faculty, and members of the wider Georgetown community who are interested in Latin America into a network of active engagement and cooperation.
