- Biographical / historical:
-
The Latin American Student Organization, LASO, was created in 2016 by undergraduate students who felt that there was a lack of a community amongst other Latin American students at Duke University. The group has four goals: to encourage social, cultural, academic and career relationships focused on LASO members but also encompassing the entire Duke community; to serve as a bridge between Duke University and Latin American student applicants to the undergraduate program; to increase Latin American alumni connections for LASO members; and to serve as ambassadors and promote Duke University in Latin America.
