SALSA Weekly 1/24

 

¡Hola amigos!

 

We hope everyone had a great first week of classes and you're getting into the regular swing of things as the rest of the semester kicks off! 

 

Here are a couple of SALSA updates for y'all:

 

1. We have our FIRST event of the spring semester this Wednesday (1/26) from 6-7pm!!! It's gonna be a virtual game night where you can come by, play some games, chill out, and have fun :D

 

 

2.  Our spring calendar is up! We have so many great things planned (Churro fundraiser, Asada, LatinX formal, speed friending, cafecitos, etc) and you do not want to miss out bc you didn't know :( 

 

3. Add yourself to our Google Calendar to keep up with SALSA events using THIS link

 

4. ROLLCALL FOR GRADUATING SENIORS!!! We're looking for graduating seniors to be speakers for Cena a Las Seis this semester!! Cena a Las Seis provides an opportunity to hear from a senior Hispanic voice in an open, informal setting. It's centered around the idea that if a senior student shares his/her story among peers bonding over similar experiences and meals, a sense of community will root itself at the heart of that dinner. The graduating senior will speak at the event about anything they wish to give their two cents on or would like to share with others. The speech is also accompanied by any form of visual/audio that helps bring the speaker's story to life like a powerpoint, instrument, or pictures.

 

If you are interested and think this is perfect for you or know a senior who would like to host a Cena, sign up using THIS form!!! SALSA will provide food of the speaker's choosing. This is a passion project of mine and the speakers who have gone in the past have really enjoyed it so please don't hesitate to fill out the form or ask me any questions!
