Hispanic Student Organization

The Hispanic Student Organization (H. S.O.) is a new club at MCC which started Fall of 2002. We are currently meeting every Wednesday  at 2:20 p.m. in Room 320 to take part in the United States Hispanic Leadership Institute. This is a nine week program with city, county, and school officials. Each week we have a meeting with these officials to get a better understanding of how city, county, and school governments work on a daily basis. The club will spend 3 days in Chicago, where we will learn leadership skills and help promote and facilitate constructive dialogue and interaction between Latino citizens and public officials.

Our Goal in H.S.O. is to:
-build positive attitudes towards higher education
-increase self-esteem and dignity
-develop participation and leadership skills
-study and appreciate the Hispanic culture and heritage

Anyone and everyone can join. If you have an interest in the heritage or in meeting new people, then visit our meetings.
