Latino Parent Association

Location: El Centro Chicano, United University Church 300, 3rd Floor
Time: 8:30am-11:00am

Description: Founded in 1982, the Latino Parent Association is an organization that serves as a resource for parents and students by addressing issues affecting Latino families and advocating involvement in parent-student issues. Each year the LPA hosts the “Menudo/Tamal Bowl,” a fundraiser during USC’s homecoming football game. Profits from the “Menudo/Tamal Bowl” support student activities. The monthly meetings include discussions and presentations about opportunities and additional resources throughout the university. Parents are also encouraged to come to the Latino Family Tailgate, part of USC’s Trojan Family Weekend taking place on Friday, October 23-25, 2009. This is a great opportunity for new USC parents and families to attend a USC football game and get a taste of what the Trojan Spirit is all about! Buy your football tickets ahead of time! At this month's meeting there will be a speaker from the Department of Public Safety.
