¡Bienvenidos a nuestra familia! On behalf of the Northeastern Latin American Student Organization (LASO), I would like to welcome you to our familia. Since 1988, LASO has fought for what they believed in as a way to show the University that students indeed have a voice, can bring about justice, and demonstrate the power of the student body. En la Union esta La Fuerza (With Unity there is Strength) which describes the familia in LASO and being able to believe in and support each other with any problem we may face as students. I have been involved in this organization since my freshman year because I felt I had a home away from home and a family I could trust. Through the years here at Northeastern, I have developed close relationships with people who I consider my brothers and sisters and without their support through the tough times I would not be who I am today and the type of leader I have become. Being in LASO has helped me evolve as an individual, student, and student leader and thanks to the support of la familia and the faculty of the LSCC I obtained a tremendous amount of love and passion for LASO and hope to share this with all of you this year.

The Executive Team is a team of LASO members whose purpose and responsibility is to serve the membership and guide them in realizing the great potential that lies in every one of us. We are here to encourage our members to voice their ideas and develop the future leaders of tomorrow. Never limit yourself, always believe in all that you do because through hard work and perseverance dreams can become a reality.

Over the course of the 2011-2012 academic year we hope to bring you various innovative meetings and events as we continue to advance our culture and preserve our identity. I look forward to seeing you all this year and remember you have a familia here on campus if you need anything. Pa’lante!

Sincerely yours y con mucho cariño,

Bryan Muñoz
LASO 2011-2012 President
